After your USM Anywhere service is provisioned and running, you can add and deploy new sensors as needed. For these sensors, instead of receiving an authentication code from LevelBlue, you must generate the license key for any new sensor you intend to add from within the USM Anywhere web user interface (UI). The rest of the sensor deployment process is the same as the first one.

To check your allowed USM Anywhere Sensors

1. Go to Settings > My Subscription to open the page.
2. Check the allowed sensors you have and the license end date. The displayed date depends on your computer's time zone.

   

To add a new sensor

1. Deploy your sensor.

   Follow the instructions based on your sensor type:

   • AWS Sensor: See Deploy the AWS Sensor for more information.
   • Azure Sensor: See Deploy the USM Anywhere Sensor from the Azure Marketplace for more information.
   • GCP Sensor: See Deploy the GCP Sensor for more information.
   • Hyper-V Sensor: See Create the Hyper-V Virtual Machine fore more information.
   • VMware Sensor: See Create the VMware Virtual Machine fore more information.
2. Obtain an authentication code for the new sensor.
1. In USM Anywhere, go to Data Sources > Sensors.

2. Click New Sensor.

   Note: Users in an Investigator role are restricted from creating more than one sensor. If your USM Anywhere License does not allow you to create more sensors, this button will remain inactive.

   The dialog box displays an authentication code for the new sensor. This code starts with an "S".

   

Important: This code will expire in 24 hours.

Note: While the authentication code used for the very first sensor you create begins with a "C", any additional sensors are authenticated with codes beginning with "S".

3. Click the icon to copy the code to your clipboard.

3. Register your sensor.

   Click or enter the URL of your sensor to get to the setup page. It prompts you to provide the following information:

   1. Enter a name and description for the sensor.
   2. In the field with the key icon (), paste the sensor authentication code you copied.

   3. In the field with the computer icon (), copy and paste the URL of your existing instance.

      For example, if the subdomain with which you registered with LevelBlue was "mycompany", the URL would be mycompany.alienvault.cloud for USM Anywhere, or mycompany.gov.alienvault.us for LevelBlue TDR for Gov.

      

   4. Click Start Setup.

      A progress dialog box displays a status message.

      Connecting USM Anywhere Sensor

      When the connection is complete, a confirmation message opens.

      

   5. Click the link to open the USM Anywhere web UI.

      Upon login, this displays the USM Anywhere Sensor Configuration page with the connected sensor listed in the page.

4. Configure your sensor.

   Follow the instructions based on your sensor type:

   • AWS Sensor: See Complete the AWS Sensor Setup for more information.
   • Azure Sensor: See Complete the Azure Sensor Setup for more information.
   • GCP Sensor: See Complete the GCP Sensor Setup for more information.
   • Hyper-V Sensor: See Complete the Hyper-V Sensor Setup for more information.
   • VMware Sensor: See Complete the VMware Sensor Setup for more information.

   Note: If you do not want to complete the sensor setup immediately, you can click Start Using USM Anywhere at the bottom of the page. However, LevelBlue strongly recommends that you do so now, because you must complete the sensor setup before you can use it.

5. Go to Data Sources > Sensors to open the page.
6. Check in the list of sensors that your new sensor is on the list, ready, and well-configured.
