Prerequisites

- Complete the tasks detailed at:
  SkyFormation Platform Prerequisites 

- Make sure you have your SkyFormation license key  

NOTE: this is applicable only for release 2.4.140 or later. 

Steps

a. Running the installation 

    SSH into the SkyFormation dedicated Linux machine with a "sudo"er account

    Use -v=*requested version* parameter to run the SkyFormation installation with a specific SW version

command to use if you have no proxy

curl -L https://download.skyformation.net/v2/download/installer/edge/pre-install.sh > preinstall.sh && chmod +x preinstall.sh && sudo ./preinstall.sh -v=*version* && rm preinstall.sh

command to use if you are running behind a proxy

curl -x https://proxyserver:8080 -L https://download.skyformation.net/v2/download/installer/edge/pre-install.sh > preinstall.sh && chmod +x preinstall.sh && sudo ./preinstall.sh -v=*version* && rm preinstall.sh

Note: if you have an authenticated proxy, and you have special characters in your username or password, you need to send them the curl -x parameter and the skyformation installation script in url-encoded format.

You may use the following command line on your terminal to see the encoded format of your user and password (in this example the password is ab$#^%cd, replace it with yours):

Optional Parameters

You can set up the integration user for skyformation open-api usage during the installation. To do so, you can use the following optional parameters:

-u=inetgration-user-name

-p=integration-user-password

-r=integration-user-role (the only valid value is "integration-admin". If you're setting a regular , non-admin integration user don't use this parameter).

Example Commands:

command to use if you have no proxy

curl -L https://download.skyformation.net/v2/download/installer/edge/pre-install.sh > preinstall.sh && chmod +x preinstall.sh && sudo ./preinstall.sh -v=*version* -u=myintegrationuser -p=myintegerationuserpassword -r=integration-admin&& rm preinstall.sh

command to use if you are running behind a proxy

curl -x https://proxyserver:8080 -L https://download.skyformation.net/v2/download/installer/edge/pre-install.sh > preinstall.sh && chmod +x preinstall.sh && sudo ./preinstall.sh -v=*version* -u=myintegrationuser -p=myintegerationuserpassword -r=integration-admin && rm preinstall.sh

url-encoded format applies here as well to the proxy user and password, in case they contain special characters.

b. Insert the following parameters when asked (highlighted in green below): 

curl -L https://download.skyformation.net/v2/download/installer/edge/pre-install.sh > preinstall.sh && chmod +x preinstall.sh && sudo ./preinstall.sh -d=exabeam && rm preinstall.sh

e. Choose SINGLE-TENANT

    SkyFormation app could run in either a "single-tenant" or "Multi-tenant" mode.
    SkyFormation for Exabeam should run in the "single-tenant" mode which allows integration with
    one SIEM (Exabeam SIEM/aa) as the target system to get the SkyFormation events at.

    Each cloud connector added will automatically be attached to the single default tenant in this
    mode making sure the entire cloud connectors events will be send to Exabeam machine.

• Press "SAVE & FINISH"

e. Integrate Exabeam SIEM/AA  

    To do that you will need to add a SIEM in SkyFormation app and configure it to be the
    Exabeam machine.

    Please follow the steps described at:
    Adding a SIEM to SkyFormation

    Make sure you see in Exabeam the test event sent from SkyFormation.
