Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Prerequisites​

  1. An Upwind account with an associated client credentials.
  2. Admin access to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Systems Manager

Systems Manager​

To install the Upwind Sensor on an EC2 instance using AWS Systems Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the AWS Systems Manager console and select Session Manager from the left-hand menu.

  2. Click the Start session button and select the EC2 instance where you want to install the Upwind Sensor.

  3. In the terminal window that opens, run the following command:

curl -fsSL https://get.upwind.io/sensor.sh | \
  UPWIND_CLIENT_ID="<redacted>" \
  UPWIND_CLIENT_SECRET="<redacted>" \
  bash -s
note

By default the Sensor connects to the US region. If your Upwind tenant is in another region, add UPWIND_REGION="eu" (or "me") next to the client credentials in the command.

  1. Wait for the installation to complete.
  2. Once the installation is complete, you can verify that the Upwind Sensor is running by checking the sensor logs.
