Click Virtual Machines and click on the corresponding VM.
On the VM detail page, you can view information about the VM as well as the services installed on the server and their corresponding health.
The State column contains a green or red status to indicate if the server's agent has registered a heartbeat to Armor.
A green status indicates the server's agent has registered a heartbeat in the past hour.
A red status indicates the server's agent has not registered a heartbeat in the past hour.

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 a recommendation scan, the Armor Agent scans the operating system for installed applications, the Windows registry, open ports, and more. 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.

Step 1: Install Trend Sub-Agent:
Step 2: Turn On File Integrity Monitoring in "Auto-Apply" Mode(This automatically applies FIM rules identified by Recommendation Scans. You must run a Recommendation Scan to identify the FIM 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 try to register again. If the registration fails again, search the log for "Unable to get BiosUUID"
| Code Block |
|---|
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:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo dmidecode |grep UUID |
Any of the above commands should return a 35byte string formatted like:
| Code Block |
|---|
4C4C7544-0057-4C30-8046-C2C04F4C9132 |
The BIOS UUID is required by the Armor Agent, to ensure uniqueness of the device. The BIOS UUID must be readable by the operating system. If the BIOS UUID is not available to the operating system please check with your provider.
