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. To update IAM roles, see Update your IAM roles, and be sure to use the following policy documents:
  • Full-permission deployment policy document (github link)
  • Minimum permission deployment policy document (github link)

    Alert Logic strongly recommends deploying with full permissions to facilitate the discovery of your AWS environment and allow Alert Logic to automate required AWS services.

• Upgrade your agents and appliances to the most recent version. Download and install the appropriate agents or appliances. For more information, see the following documents:
• Install the Alert Logic Agent for Linux
• Install the Alert Logic Agent for Windows
• Install and Configure the Virtual Appliance
