Starting Log360 Cloud

You can either configure an On-premise agent or a Cloud Account to get started.

This page describes the various steps involved in configuring an on-premise agent or a cloud agent.

  1. Configure an agent
  2. Configure advanced threat analytics
  3. Configure Log360 Cloud Account

Configure Log360 Cloud Agent

1.1 Download agent

  • Click the Download Agent button to download the agent.
  • Starting Log360 Cloud

  • Run the downloaded Log360CloudAgent.exe file and complete the installation process.
  • Once the agent installation is completed, it will be automatically identified. However, the agent will not communicate with Log360 Cloud until it is approved.

1.2 Approving the agent

Downloaded agents can be approved once they are identified.

  • For a single agent:
    • Approve directly from the Log360Cloud setup page using the Approve button.
    • Security Access Key

    • Once the agent is approved, it will take some time for the agent to synchronize with Log360 Cloud account.
    • Log360 Cloud Security Access Key

  • For multiple agents:
    • Agents will be listed in the Pending Agent Registrations table. Click Show to view this table.
    • Select agents in bulk or filter them to complete approval.
    • Security Access Key

    • If approved agents fail to communicate with Log360Cloud, the status will change to Sync failed. To resolve this issue, follow the troubleshooting steps to re-establish communication.
    • Agents will be automatically uninstalled from machines that are rejected
    • Note: When multiple agents are installed, the Log360 Cloud redirects to the home page upon approval of at least one agent. The status of other unapproved agents can be viewed under Manage Agents.

On completing installation, data synchronization will begin and Log360 Cloud Agent will start pushing logs to the cloud.

  • Open a command prompt window and navigate to the folder where the agent was downloaded.
  • Enter the following command to initiate the silent installation:
Log360CloudAgent.exe SILENT_INSTALL /hide_progress /hide_splash
