Remediation Steps to Improve Protection Scores

You can use the information below to troubleshoot the issues displayed in the Protection screen.

Armor recommends that you troubleshoot these issues to:

Improve your Protection scores
Improve your overall Health scores
Increase the overall security of your environment

Review each step to troubleshoot your problem. If the first step does not resolve the issue, then continue to the second step until the issue has been resolved. As always, you can send a support ticket.

Logging

The filebeat logging agent is not installed.

Step 1: Verify the status of filebeat

	Description	Command	Extra information
Windows	Configurations are stored in the winlogbeat and filebeat directory within C:\.armor\opt\	`cat` `C:\.armor\opt\winlogbeat-5.2.0-windows-x86_64\winlogbeat.yml` `cat` `C:\.armor\opt\filebeat-5.2.0-windows-x86_64\filebeat.yml`	Windows uses both winlogbeat and filebeat. Commands should run in Powershell. To review additional configurations, certificates, and service information, review a server's directory: C:\.armor\opt\winlogbeat* C:\.armor\opt\filebeat*
	To verify the operation of the logging services, look for winlogbeat, filebeat	`gsv` `-displayname` `winlogbeat,filebeat`
	To verify the operation of the logging service processes, look for winlogbeat	`gps` `filebeat,winlogbeat`
	Confirm the configured log endpoint	`cat` `C:\.armor\opt\winlogbeat-5.2.0-windows-x86_64\winlogbeat.yml \| sls hosts`

Linux	Configurations are stored within /etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml	`cat` `/etc/filebeat/*.yml`
	Verify the operation of the filebeat service	`ps` `aux \|` `grep` `filebeat`
	Confirm the configured log endpoint	`grep` `-i hosts` `/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml`
	Confirm the external_id	`grep` `-i external_id` `/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml`
	Confirm the tenant ID	`grep` `-i tenant_id` `/etc/filebeat/filebeat.yml`
