lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm

Use SSM to securely install the Lacework agent on EC2 instances

Synopsis

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

This command will create a role and instance profile with 'SSMManagedInstanceCore' attached and associate that instance profile with the target instances. If the target instances already have associated instance profiles, this command will not change their state. This command will teardown the IAM role and instance profile before exiting.

This command authenticates with AWS credentials from well-known locations on the user's machine. The principal associated with these credentials should have the 'AmazonEC2FullAccess', 'IAMFullAccess' and 'AmazonSSMFullAccess' policies attached.

Target instances must have the SSM agent installed and running for successful installation.

To skip IAM role / instance profile creation and instance profile association:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --skip_iam_role_creation

To provide a preexisting IAM role with the 'SSMManagedInstanceCore' policy

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --iam_role_name IAMRoleName

To filter by one or more regions:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --include_regions us-west-2,us-east-2

To filter by instance tag:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --tag TagName,TagValue

To filter by instance tag key:

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --tag_key TagName

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 ec2ssm --token <token>

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

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --server_url https://your.server.url.lacework.net

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

lacework agent aws-install ec2ssm --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
