lacework agent aws-install ec2ic

Use EC2InstanceConnect to securely connect to EC2 instances

Synopsis

This command installs the agent on all EC2 instances in an AWS account using EC2InstanceConnect.

To filter by one or more regions:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --include_regions us-west-2,us-east-2

To filter by instance tag:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --tag TagName,TagValue

To filter by instance tag key:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --tag_key TagName

To explicitly specify the username for all SSH logins:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --ssh_username <your-user>

To provide an agent access token of your choice, use the command 'lacework agent token list', select a token and pass it to the '--token' flag. This flag must be selected if the '--noninteractive' flag is set.

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --token <token>

To explicitly specify the server URL that the agent will connect to:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --server_url https://your.server.url.lacework.net

To specify an AWS credential profile other than 'default':

lacework agent aws-install ec2ic --credential_profile aws-profile-name

AWS credentials are read from the following environment variables:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (optional)
  • AWS_REGION (optional)

This command will only install the agent on hosts that are supported by EC2InstanceConnect. The supported AMI types are Amazon Linux 2 and Ubuntu 16.04 and later. There may also be a region restriction.

This command will automatically add hosts with successful connections to '~/.ssh/known_hosts' unless specified with '--trust_host_key=false'.
