Registration of Cloud Link Service requires copying the activation package to the Cloud Link Service directory, and setting up the required permissions. Once this is completed, the Cloud Link Service will be registered automatically.
Note:
Prerequisites
To register the Cloud Link Service:
SSH to the host on which the Cloud Link Service is installed.
Copy the device-activation-package.json
file downloaded from the NetWitness Platform on the cloud to the /root
or a /temp
directory on the Cloud Link Service host.
Change the user and group of the device-activation-package.json
file to netwitness
by executing the following command:
chown netwitness:netwitness device-activation-package.json
Important: Avoid using cp
command to add files under /var/lib/netwitness/cloud-link-server
directory. The cp
command changes the user and group to root
, which can result in the Cloud Link Service registration failure.
Move the device-activation-package.json
file to the Cloud Link Service directory by executing the following command:
mv device-activation-package.json /var/lib/netwitness/cloud-link-server/
To verify if Cloud Link Service is registered successfully, log in to the NetWitness Platform on the cloud, and check the status of the Cloud Link Service. For more information, see How to verify if the Cloud Link Service is working.
Note: If you want to re-register a Cloud Link Service with a different activation package, first remove the Cloud Link Service from the NetWitness Platform sensor list on the cloud, and then uninstall Cloud Link Service on the NetWitness Platform. For more information about deleting the Cloud Link Service, see How to delete Cloud Link Service.
