Agent Server URL

The Lacework agent uses a region-specific agent server URL to communicate with the Lacework platform. Lacework supports the following regions and URLs:

RegionURL
US (default)https://api.lacework.net
US-02 (US)https://aprodus2.agent.lacework.net
European Union (EU)https://api.fra.lacework.net
Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)https://auprodn1.agent.lacework.net

By default, agents use the https://api.lacework.net URL in the US region. For Linux agent v6.1 and Windows agent v1.5 or earlier installed outside the default region (US), you must explicitly configure the agent server URL using the serverurl property in the config.json file. The following example shows you how to add the serverurl property in the config.json file:

{ 
"serverurl": "Your_Server_URL"
}

Where Your_Server_URL is the agent server URL for your region.

Starting with Linux agent v6.2 and Windows agent v1.6, it is optional for you to configure the agent server URL even if you install the agent outside the default region. The agent automatically discovers the agent server URL for your region.

To automatically discover the agent server URL:

  • Linux agent v6.2 or later agents for which you have not configured the agent server URL will first communicate with https://api.lacework.net that is located in the US region to know the region they belong to, and then use only the region-specific URL.
  • Windows agent v1.6 or later agents for which you have not configured the agent server URL will first communicate with https://agent.lacework.net that is located in the US region to know the region they belong to, and then use only the region-specific URL.
  • The agents for which you have configured the agent server URL will first communicate with the configured server URL to know the region they belong to.

Once the correct region is established, agents remember it and communicate only with the agent server URL for that region until you modify the URL.
