Upgrade to Managed Detection and Response
The Alert Logic console provides a universal navigation experience for all Alert Logic customers, regardless of your product subscriptions.
The Alert Logic console shows only the tabs and pages appropriate to your product subscription. This topic describes all possible tabs and pages, but specifies the subscriptions that generate the tabs and pages. For more information about subscriptions Alert Logic offers, see Get Started with Alert Logic Subscriptions and Add-ons.
Prerequisites
Prior to your upgrade, you must perform the following deployment and agent updates:
- If you have Amazon Web Services (AWS) deployments, you must ensure your deployments use IAM roles created with the most current policy documents. If you have not updated your deployments using IAM roles, see Update your IAM roles, and be sure to use the following policy documents:
- (Recommended) Full-permission deployment policy document (github link)
- Minimum permission deployment policy document (github link)
If you deploy using the minimal permissions policy, Alert Logic will not be able to facilitate the discovery of your AWS environment or automate required AWS services, which can affect your experience. Alert Logic recommends deploying with the full-permissions deployment policy.
- Upgrade your agents to the most recent version. Download and install the appropriate agents. For more information, see the following documents:
