Configure your sensor for agentless automation

To configure automation on your sensor for an agentless appliance:

  • Use the ./addagentless CLI command on the sensor. Provide login credentials and other configuration settings to the sensor.
  • Use the ./addagentless CLI command on the sensor. Use a file to load login credentials and other configuration settings as a batch. See Configure sensor (agentless) automation settings using a file.

Before you begin

  • Root or administrative privileges are required.

Configure a sensor for agentless automation

  1. Log in to the sensor host.

  2. Go to the sensor CLI directory.

    cd install_dir/cli

    Where install_dir is the installation directory for the sensor.

  3. Run the addagentless command.

    • On Linux:

    ./addagentless.sh -type (BIGIP | NETSCALER | A10 | AWS)

    • On Windows:

    addagentless.bat -type (BIGIP | NETSCALER | A10 | AWS)

    • On Docker:

    docker exec -it <container-id/name> cli/addagentless.sh -type (BIGIP | NETSCALER | A10 | AWS)

    Where -type specifies the type of appliance you want to configure.

    When you enter the command, prompts appear for each setting you need to enter. At each prompt, enter the specific settings for your appliance and press Return.

Run the docker ps command to get the container name or ID and its operating status.

There are two ways to configure the agentless on docker:

  1. Without signing in to the docker sensor container:
    Run the docker exec -it <container-id/name> cli/addagentless.sh -type (BIGIP | NETSCALER | A10 | AWS) command.
  2. By signing in to the docker sensor container:
    1. Run the docker exec -it <container-id/name> bash command to get a bash shell in the container.
    2. Go to the sensor installation directory and run the cli/addagentless.sh -type (BIGIP | NETSCALER | A10 | AWS) command.

For example:

The information you enter for a load balancer varies depending on the load balancer type you configure (BIGIP, NETSCALER, A10, or AWS).

addagentless.bat -type A10

xml 
C:\Program Files\DigiCert\DigiCert sensor\cli>addagentless.bat  -type A10
