Linux

The Agent uses minimal system resources until the time of scanning/enforcement. Expect the normal load usually used by whatever ability type is being run.

Getting Started

The only step required to get up and running is to connect the Sicura Agent to your Sicura Console instance.

This is done by ensuring a DNS entry is made matching sicura-console-collector to the valid IP or hostname of your Console instance. If this cannot be done due to restrictive policy or you’d like to override the default, the IP or hostname can be entered to the collector .

Furthermore, ensure the collector-port and collector-https configuration options are set properly to match console configuration.

Once initial configuration is complete, the agent can be started with sicura-agent or systemctl start sicura-agent commands (On all Windows machines, the Sicura Agent service is started by default).
