Linux Host

On a Linux-based bare-metal or virtual machine workload, the ThreatMapper sensor agents are deployed within a lightweight docker runtime which should be installed on the host Linux operating system.

ThreatMapper Sensor Agents​

Install a docker runtime on the Linux host. Refer to the Prerequisites for the Sensor Agents for minimum supported platforms.

Run the following command to start the Sensor Agent on the host. You can find the Deepfence API key under Setting>User Management>API Key.

docker run -dit \
    --cpus=".2" \
    --name=deepfence-agent \
    --restart on-failure \
    --pid=host \
    --net=host \
    --log-driver json-file \
    --log-opt max-size=50m \
    --privileged=true \
    -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug:rw \
    -v /var/log/fenced \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v /:/fenced/mnt/host/:ro \
    -e USER_DEFINED_TAGS="" \
    -e MGMT_CONSOLE_URL="---CONSOLE-IP---" \
    -e MGMT_CONSOLE_PORT="443" \
    -e DEEPFENCE_KEY="---DEEPFENCE-API-KEY---" \
    deepfenceio/deepfence_agent_ce:2.0.1

Optionally the sensor container can be tagged using USER_DEFINED_TAGS="" in the above command. Tags should be comma separated, for example, "dev,front-end".
