Follow these steps to connect your agents to the management:
Check the "I deployed an agent" box, the Central Management box will become enabled.
In the Getting Started page, click Manage and choose either Kubernetes Profile or Linux Embedded Agent Profile depending on your installation type. You will get into the related Profile page:
In the "sub type" field select either NGINX or Kong depending on what kind of open-appsec agent / deployment you want to connect.
Choose the relevant option to decide whether you want to edit assets and policies via the WebUI or locally in a declarative way (using CRDs or configuration file). If you choose a declarative option you can still view the configuration in the WebUI in read-only mode.
Follow the guidelines under Download & Deployment:
Enforce policy, by clicking the button at the top right of the page.
Copy the commands as shown in the selected profile and run it in your Kubernetes or Linux Environment to connect your deployed agents to this profile and the central management. Here are some examples:
Once you performed the instructions, after about two minutes, you will see a green notification bar in the Web UI. Your open-appsec agents are now connected to the management!
In case you want to connect to the SaaS Management using only Helm values (e.g. in a GitOps scenario where you deploy the Helm chart from a Git repo) please continue and don't perform this step below.
