The Company Agents screen is where you will obtain the ConnectSecure Agent installation packages for Microsoft Windows, MAC, Linux, and ARM operating systems.
Visit our page here for a full listing: Agent Configurations
Tap on the agent download icon on the toolbar.
The agent ALWAYS installs as a Lightweight by default. Once started, you must use the Discovery Settings to convert the Lightweight to a Probe. This process can take 15 minutes.
We have built a dedicated page that contains agent installation details here:
One-Time Scan Agent
Remote Agent Install
You can use the ‘Remote Install’ option on probe-discovered assets to attempt to install the lightweight agent.
When the lightweight agent is installed using the probe it does inherit or require the -j (user secret) agent variable; the system does have a way to identify an agent that is installed from remote install
