Create Agent Access Tokens and Download Agent Installers

You create agent access tokens and download the agent installers from the Lacework Console. When you create a new agent access token, Lacework assigns the specified unique logical name to the agent access token.

In the Lacework Console, select Settings > Agents. Either use an existing agent access token or create a new agent access token.

To create a new agent access token from the Lacework Console:

1. In the Lacework Console, navigate to Settings > Agents.
2. Click + Create New.
3. In the Name field, enter a unique logical name for the agent token. You can use the agent access token name to logically separate your deployments, for example, by environment types (QA, Dev, etc.) or system types (CentOS, RHEL, etc.).
4. In the Description field, you can optionally specify a description.

You can also create an agent access token via the Lacework API. For information about accessing the Lacework API documentation, see Access the Lacework API.
