How can I install an Alert Logic agent on a Linux Auto Scaling Instance?

You can install the Alert Logic® Universal Agent on a Linux Auto Scaling Instance by utilizing a bootstrap script. One of the appropriate attached scripts below can be added into Amazon Web Services (AWS) when creating the Launch configuration of the Auto Scaling group.

If you are an Alert Logic Cloud Defender, Threat Manager, or Log Manager customer, read the following:

#!/bin/bash
REGKEY=<Your Unique Registration Key>
HOST=vaporator.alertlogic.com

Before adding the script into AWS, it needs to be modified to contain your Unique Registration key and appliance used for single point of egress. You can find your Unique Registration Key within the Alert Logic console under the My Account tab in the top right corner of the page.

When adding the attached and modified script into AWS, click Choose File under User data and then choose the appropriate bootstrap script from your files. Utilize the below image as an AWS configuration example:

If you are an Alert Logic Essentials, Alert Logic Professional, or Alert Logic Enterprise customer, read the following: 

#!/bin/bash 
REGKEY=<Your Unique User ID> 
HOST=vaporator.alertlogic.com 

Before adding the script into AWS, it needs to be modified to contain your Unique User ID and appliance used for single point of egress. You can find your Unique User ID within the Alert Logic console under the menu icon () > Support.
