2.1 Implementation Checklist

Use the following checklist to plan and install Security Agent for UNIX.

	Assess your environment to determine the hardware configuration. Ensure that the computers on which you install Security Agent for UNIX meet the specified requirements. For more information, see Technical Information for Security Agent for UNIX.
	Install the NetIQ security product you want to use with the Agent. If you are using Sentinel, install the Agent Manager Connector as well.
	Depending on your Agent deployment requirements, determine whether you need to install UAM, CG AM, or both. For more information, see Table 1-1, UAM and CG AM Comparison for all Security Products. For information about installing UAM, see Installing UAM. For information on installing Change Guardian server, see Change Guardian Documentation.
	Review the deployment considerations to understand how you can install, upgrade, and manage agents. For more information, see Deployment Considerations.
	Install the Agent on the computer you want to monitor. For information about remote installation of the Agent using UAM, see Installing the Agent Using UAM. For information about remote installation of the Agent using CG AM, see Remote Installation Using CG AM. For information about installing the Agent directly on the endpoint, see Local Installation. For information about installing using an answer file, see Silent Installation.
	Ensure that the audit service is running on the Agent without any interruption. For more information see, Validating Agent Services Installation.
	(Conditional) For Sentinel, deploy Sentinel rules using UAM on the endpoint that helps you to route the parsed event data according to the rules you define. For information about how to deploy rules, see Deploying Rule Sets.
