Use the temporary server to run the installation script, which creates the virtual SIEM device.

  • Download the installation script from the Trellix download site.

  • Make sure to use AWS CLI version 2.

    1. Open command line and enter aws --version to verify the version.

      aws-cli/1.xxx is version 1 and aws-cli/2.xxx is version 2.

    2. If the version is not 2, enter rpm -e awscli to remove the previous version.

    3. To install AWS CLI v2, run the script:

      curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o
"awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install -b /usr/bin

  1. Create a user.

    1. From the AWS Management Console, go to Identity and Access Management.

    2. Click Users, then click Create User.

      The Add user window appears.

    3. Enter a user name.

    4. Select Generate an access key for each user.

    5. Give the new user Programmatic access and Admin permissions.

    6. Click Create user.

    7. Click Download Credentials, then save the resulting CSV file. These credentials contain the Access Key and Secret Key you will need later.

  2. From the command prompt on the temporary Linux server, enter sudo su.

  3. Enter aws configure.

  4. Copy and paste the Access key ID and Secret access key when prompted.

  5. Change the permissions of the script:

    chmod 755 <installation script file name>

  6. Run the script:

    ./<installation script file name>

    The script creates a machine image. This can take about 20 minutes.
