Public Preview
Support for configuring the Linux agent from the Lacework Console - Previously, you had to manually update the config.json file on every host to modify the Linux agent configuration. You can now use the Lacework Console to specify the configuration for all agents that use a specific agent token. Any new agent that you install using the token will also use the same configuration. For more information, see Configure Linux Agent Behavior in the Lacework Console.
noteThe settings in the config.json file take precedence over the settings in the Lacework Console. So, you can continue to manually update the config.json file on every host if you prefer. However, Lacework recommends using the Lacework Console to configure the agent because it makes it easier to quickly change settings for a large number of agents.
6.7.6 Release Notes
