What host hardening does Dynatrace Managed Server install perform?

krokkas — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:30:58 GMT

What additional hardening is performed by the SELinux component of the Dynatrace Managed Server install. Can you provide a list that can be sent to our Security team, as it may be that default hardening as part of the install meets security requirements.

The following system files and directories can be modified during installation of Dynatrace Managed:

/etc/hosts
/etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/pam.d/su
/etc/rc.local
/etc/security/limits.conf
/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf
/etc/sudoers
/etc/sudoers.d/
/etc/init.d/
/etc/init.d/rc*.d/
/etc/systemd/system/

Additionally, we need to configure firewall settings as stated here:

Cluster node ports

You may also have a look here:

/opt/dtrun/dtrun.conf

to see what scripts are executed that may modify a system.

Hope that helps! If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

There is no separated component like SELinux of Dynatrace Managed Server install. The general requirements that must be met before installation are listed here:

@Radoslaw S. @Monika A. Apologies, this was meant to be instance hardening performed by the OneAgent install. I can open a new forum question if appropriate.
