Armor Best Practices: Recommendation Scans
If you install the Armor Agent only and plan to use the Intrusion Prevention Service and/or File Integrity Monitoring, Armor recommends utilizing the new Recommendation Scans feature to automatically apply a baseline set of rules specifically optimized for your VM (based on installed applications, open ports, and more).
Below are the steps to turn on Recommendation Scans to follow Armor's best practices.
Install Armor Security Services
Below are the commands to install Armor's additional Security Services.
Step 3: Review the status of the Armor Anywhere agent
The State of each Armor Service will show Pending for two-hours after installation. After two hours, the State should accurately reflect the health of the service.
To access troubleshooting documentation for each Armor Security Service, click on the name of the service in the sub-agent health table.
