How to Install Wallarm Node for GCP

To install Wallarm Node on GCP you will need a license. If you don’t yet one, you can obtain a trial license by registering at https://my.wallarm.com/signup.

You can get a free trial account on Google Compute Engine or use your existing GCP account. Deploy and configure Wallarm Node with a few clicks from https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher/details/wallarm-node-195710/wallarm-node.

After you go through the steps, you will have a new Google Compute Engine instance with Wallarm Node pre-installed. To continue your deployment, you will need to connect your newly deployed Wallarm Node to the Wallarm Cloud account.

To do that, you first need to get a terminal connection to the Linux inside your instance. You can do that through either the Google Cloud Platform Console or the gcloudcommand-line tool. Instructions on connecting directly via the console and for accessing SSH keys can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance.

Once connected, run the addnode script located in /usr/share/wallarm-common/

You will be asked for your log-in credentials for your Wallarm account. Make sure you are connecting with the same account you used to sign up or with another account that has administrative privileges.
