This check monitors Aqua.
The Aqua check will alert the user if total high-severity vulnerability is reached, or if a container is running inside a host not registered by Aqua. Aqua will also send data alerts regarding blocked events in runtime, and it is possible to trigger a webhook to scale infrastructure if more Aqua scanners are required.
The Aqua check is not included in the Datadog Agent package, so you will need to install it yourself.
If you are using Agent v6.8+ follow the instructions below to install the Aqua check on your host. See the dedicated Agent guide for installing community integrations to install checks with the Agent prior to version 6.8 or the Docker Agent:
Run the following command to install the integrations wheel with the Agent:
datadog-agent integration install -t datadog-aqua==<INTEGRATION_VERSION>
Configure your integration like any other packaged integration.
Edit the aqua.d/conf.yaml
file in the conf.d/
folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your Aqua metrics. See the sample conf.yaml for all available configuration options.:
instances:
- url: http://your-aqua-instance.com
api_user: "<API_USERNAME>"
password: "<API_USER_PASSWORD>"
Change the api_user
and password
parameter values and configure them for your environment.
There are two types of logs generated by Aqua:
To collect Aqua audit logs:
Connect to your Aqua account
Go to the Log Management
Section of the Integration
Page
Activate the Webhook integration
Enable it and add the following endpoint: https://http-intake.logs.datadoghq.com/v1/input/<DATADOG_API_KEY>?ddsource=aqua
<DATADOG_API_KEY>
by your Datadog API Key..com
by .eu
in the endpoint.For the Aqua Enforcer logs: Available for Agent >6.0
Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in your daemonset configuration:
# (...)
env:
# (...)
- name: DD_LOGS_ENABLED
value: "true"
- name: DD_LOGS_CONFIG_CONTAINER_COLLECT_ALL
value: "true"
# (...)
Make sure that the Docker socket is mounted to the Datadog Agent as done in this manifest.
Run the Agent’s status
subcommand and look for aqua
