3.13. Service Control

Service Control is ASGARD's way of deploying real-time services on endpoints. Currently there exist the Aurora and the LogWatcher service. To use any of those two, the service controller has to be installed on an asset.

3.13.1. Service Controller Installation

To install asgard2-service-controller on an asset you need to install the asgard2-agent first. If you already have installed asgard2-agent on an asset and accepted it in ASGARD, you can use the "Install ASGARD Service Controller" playbook to deploy the service controller on an asset or you can manually download and execute the asgard2-service-controller installer from the ASGARD downloads page.

Install Service Controller

3.13.2. Service Controller Update

If an ASGARD update comes with a new service controller version, you need to update the service controller on the already rolled-out assets. You can do this using an "Update Agent" task. For a single asset the task can be run in Asset Management > Assets > Run Task (play button action) or analogous as a (scheduled) group task under Response Control > (Scheduled) Group Tasks > Add (Scheduled) Group Task.

Update Service Controller

Note

If you don't see the Update Agent module, you need to enable Show Advanced Tasks in Settings > Advanced

3.13.3. Uninstall ASGARD Service Controller

Note

The command contains names used by the default installer packages. In cases in which you've generated custom installer packages with a custom service and binary name, adjust the commands accordingly.

If you want to uninstall the ASGARD Service Controller and Agent, see section Uninstall ASGARD Agents.

If you only want to uninstall the ASGARD Service Controller execute:

C:\Windows\system32>C:\Windows\System32\asgard2-agent\asgard2-agent_sc.exe -uninstall
