Installing the Armor Anywhere Agent Only

If you need to install the Armor Agent and Armor Security Services one by one, Armor recommends following the specific order outlined below to utilize the benefits of Recommendation Scans.  

Recommendation Scans provide a good starting point for establishing a list of rules that you should implement for FIM and IPS.  During During a recommendation scan,  the the Armor Agent scans Agent scans the operating system for installed applications,  the the Windows registry,  open open ports, and more.  Recommendation Recommendation Scans provide the rules and policies that will be auto applied by FIM and IPS, so auto apply features for those services must be turned on. Similarly, there is nothing for FIM and IPS to auto apply unless a Recommendation Scan is run.  

If you do not want to run Recommendation Scans, please review the full list of CLI commands available here.

themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor fim on auto-apply-recommendations=on

Step 3:  Turn Turn On Intrusion Prevention Service in "Auto-Apply" Mode (This automatically applies IPS rules identified by Recommendation Scans. You must run a Recommendation Scan to identify the IPS rules that will be auto-applied.)

Troubleshooting

The Armor Agent uses the BiosUUID to identify the hardware that the agent is running on. This number is tied to your motherboard (in the case of a physical computer) but is also present in a Virtual Machine.

In rare cases, the usual calls to retrieve this identifier fail to return this UUID, which will cause the Armor Agent to fail registration.

Turn on Armor Agent debug logging  and and try to register again. If the registration fails again, search the log for for "Unable to get BiosUUID"

Code Block
themeMidnight
time="2020-07-24T03:06:48-05:00" level=debug msg="Unable to get BiosUUID"
time="2020-07-24T03:06:50-05:00" level=debug msg="Unable to get BiosUUID"

In Linux, try this command to try to retrieve the UUID:

Midnight
Code Block
theme
sudo dmidecode |grep UUID

Any of the above commands should return a 35byte string formatted like:

Code Block
themeMidnight
4C4C7544-0057-4C30-8046-C2C04F4C9132

The BIOS UUID is required is required by the Armor Agent, to ensure uniqueness ensure uniqueness of the device. The BIOS UUID must be readable by the by the operating system. If the BIOS UUID is not available to the operating system please check with your provider.
