Good morning community, I have a question.

What is the correct way to validate that an agent is correctly installed on a windows and non-windows server?
I'm doing internal documentation and I would like to know a way to check if it is correctly installed without the need to reinstall it.

For Windows systems, one of the best ways would be to check in the services that the agents are running? Like this:

#On-PremisesWAF(formerlySecuresphere)

Hi Victoria,

I think it's a simple way on windows systems is to check the service from the task manager. As you mentioned, now if you want to automate the process you can try the powershell command below. 

Get-Service -Name "SecureSphere*" 

For linux environments, the use of the systemclt command should suffice.

$sudo systemctl status "${securesphere}".service

My apologies are simple concepts, however they can be of help, I hope so ;)

Hello Victoria,

Thank you for the post, to check if the agent is installed properly we do not have any specific steps, as you have shared the screen shot, we would have two process running, Agent Installer manager and Remote Agent, however you can check the agent is able to get the audit logs, all the interfaces have been learned and no errors on the MX agent tab, then we can conclude that the agent is running fine.
