All-in-Oneインストーラーによるデプロイ¶
これらの手順は、さまざまな環境においてNGINXの動的モジュールとしてWallarmノードをインストールするプロセスの効率化と標準化を目的とした、OOB動的モジュールとしてWallarmをインストールするためのall-in-one installerを使用した手順を説明します。このインストーラーは、使用しているオペレーティングシステムおよびNGINXのバージョンを自動的に識別し、必要な依存関係をすべてインストールします。
all-in-one installerは、以下の動作を自動的に実行することにより、シンプルなノードのインストールプロセスを提供します:
-
OSおよびNGINXのバージョンを確認します。
-
検出されたOSとNGINXのバージョンに対してWallarmリポジトリを追加します。
-
これらのリポジトリからWallarmパッケージをインストールします。
-
インストールされたWallarmモジュールをNGINXに接続します。
-
提供されたトークンを使用してフィルタリングノードをWallarm Cloudに接続します。
ユースケース¶
Among all supported Wallarm deployment options, this solution is the recommended one for the following use cases:
-
Your infrastructure is based on bare metal or virtual machines without using container-based methods. Typically, these setups are managed with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Ansible or SaltStack.
-
Your services are built around NGINX. Wallarm can extend its functionalities using the all-in-one installer.
要件¶
-
Access to the account with the Administrator role in Wallarm Console for the US Cloud or EU Cloud.
-
Supported OS:
- Debian 10, 11 and 12.x
- Ubuntu LTS 18.04, 20.04, 22.04

- SuSe Linux
- Others (the list is constantly widening, contact Wallarm support team to check if your OS is in the list)
-
Access to
https://meganode.wallarm.com
to download all-in-one Wallarm installer. Ensure the access is not blocked by a firewall. -
Access to
https://us1.api.wallarm.com
for working with US Wallarm Cloud or tohttps://api.wallarm.com
for working with EU Wallarm Cloud. If access can be configured only via the proxy server, then use the instructions. -
Access to the IP addresses below for downloading updates to attack detection rules and API specifications, as well as retrieving precise IPs for your allowlisted, denylisted, or graylisted countries, regions, or data centers
-
Executing all commands as a superuser (e.g.
root
).
ステップ1: NGINXと依存関係をインストールします¶
Install the latest NGINX version of:
-
NGINX
stable
(the latest supported version is v1.28.0) - see how to install it in the NGINX documentation. -
NGINX Mainline (the latest supported version is v1.27.5) - see how to install it in the NGINX documentation.
-
NGINX Plus (the latest supported version is NGINX Plus R33) - see how to install it in the NGINX documentation.
-
Distribution-Provided NGINX - to install, use the following commands:
ステップ2: Wallarmトークンの準備¶
To install node, you will need a Wallarm token of the appropriate type. To prepare a token:
ステップ3: all-in-one Wallarmインストーラーのダウンロード¶
Wallarm suggests all-in-one installations for the following processors:
-
x86_64
-
ARM64 (beta)
To download all-in-one Wallarm installation script, execute the command:
ステップ4: all-in-one Wallarmインストーラーの実行¶
-
Run downloaded script:
# If using the x86_64 version: sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' sh wallarm-6.1.0.x86_64-glibc.sh # If using the ARM64 version: sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' sh wallarm-6.1.0.aarch64-glibc.sh
The
WALLARM_LABELS
variable sets group into which the node will be added (used for logical grouping of nodes in the Wallarm Console UI). -
Enter Wallarm token.
以降の手順のコマンドは、x86_64およびARM64インストールに共通です。
ステップ5: Wallarmノードによるトラフィック解析を有効化します¶
By default, the deployed Wallarm node does not analyze incoming traffic.
Perform the following configuration in the NGINX configuration file on the machine with the installed node to configure Wallarm to process the traffic mirror:
-
For the Wallarm node to accept mirrored traffic, set the following configuration in the
server
NGINX block:wallarm_force server_addr $http_x_server_addr; wallarm_force server_port $http_x_server_port; # Change 222.222.222.22 to the address of the mirroring server set_real_ip_from 222.222.222.22; real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For; real_ip_recursive on; wallarm_force response_status 0; wallarm_force response_time 0; wallarm_force response_size 0;
- The
set_real_ip_from
andreal_ip_header
directives are required to have Wallarm Console display the IP addresses of the attackers. - The
wallarm_force_response_*
directives are required to disable analysis of all requests except for copies received from the mirrored traffic.
- The
-
For the Wallarm node to analyze the mirrored traffic, set the
wallarm_mode
directive tomonitoring
:Since malicious requests cannot be blocked, the only mode Wallarm accepts is monitoring. For in-line deployment, there are also safe blocking and blocking modes but even if you set the
wallarm_mode
directive to a value different from monitoring, the node continues to monitor traffic and only record malicious traffic (aside from the mode set to off). -
If present, remove the
try_files
directive from the NGINX locations to ensure traffic is directed to Wallarm without local file interference:
ステップ6: NGINXの再起動¶
Restart NGINX using the following command:
ステップ7: Wallarmノードへのトラフィック送信を設定します¶
Configure your environment to mirror incoming traffic to an instance with the Wallarm node you are deploying. For configuration details, we recommend to refer to documentation on the solution you are going to use to produce the traffic mirror (web server, proxy server, etc.).
Inside the link, you will find the example configuration for NGINX, Traefik, Envoy.
ステップ8: Wallarmノードの動作をテストします¶
-
Send the request with test Path Traversal attack to a protected resource address:
If traffic is configured to be proxied to
example.com
, include the-H "Host: example.com"
header in the request. -
Open Wallarm Console → Attacks section in the US Cloud or EU Cloud and make sure the attack is displayed in the list.
-
Optionally, test other aspects of the node functioning.
ステップ9: デプロイ済みソリューションの微調整¶
既定の設定で動的Wallarmモジュールがインストールされます。デプロイ後、フィルタリングノードには追加の設定が必要になる場合があります。
Wallarmの設定はNGINXディレクティブまたはWallarm Console UIを使用して定義されます。ディレクティブは、Wallarmノードがインストールされているマシンの以下のファイルに設定します:
-
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
(サーバーレベルおよびロケーションレベルの設定用) -
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
(httpレベルの設定用) -
/etc/nginx/wallarm-status.conf
はWallarmノードの監視設定用です。詳細な説明はリンクをご参照ください。 -
/opt/wallarm/etc/collectd/wallarm-collectd.conf.d/wallarm-tarantool.conf
はTarantoolから統計情報を収集するcollectd
プラグインの設定用です。
以下に、必要に応じて適用できる一般的な設定例をいくつか示します:
起動オプション¶
As soon as you have the all-in one script downloaded, you can get help on it with:
Which returns:
...
Usage: setup.sh [options]... [arguments]... [filtering/postanalytics]
OPTION DESCRIPTION
-b, --batch Batch mode, non-interactive installation.
--install-only Initiates the first stage of the all-in-one installer in batch mode. Copies essential configurations, including files and binaries, and sets up NGINX for node installation, bypassing Cloud registration and activation. Requires --batch.
--skip-ngx-config Avoids automatic NGINX configuration changes that occur during the --install-only stage in batch mode, suitable for users who prefer manual adjustments later. When used with --install-only, it ensures only essential configurations are copied without altering NGINX settings. Requires --batch.
--register-only Initiates the second stage of the all-in-one installer in batch mode, completing the setup by registering the node in the Cloud and starting its service. Requires --batch.
-t, --token TOKEN Node token, required in a batch mode.
-c, --cloud CLOUD Wallarm Cloud, one of US/EU, default is EU, only used in a batch mode.
-H, --host HOST Wallarm API address, for example, api.wallarm.com or us1.api.wallarm.com, only used in a batch mode.
-P, --port PORT Wallarm API pot, for example, 443.
--no-ssl Disable SSL for Wallarm API access.
--no-verify Disable SSL certificates verification.
-f, --force If there is a node with the same name, create a new instance.
-h, --help
--version
Batch mode¶
The --batch
option triggers batch (non-interactive) mode, where the script requires configuration options via the --token
and --cloud
flags, along with the WALLARM_LABELS
environment variable if needed. In this mode, the script does not prompt the user for data input step by step as in the default mode; instead, it requires explicit commands for interaction.
Below are examples of commands to run the script in batch mode for node installation, assuming the script has already been downloaded:
Separate execution of node installation stages¶
When preparing your own machine image using the all-in-one installer for cloud infrastructure, the standard installation process outlined in this article may not suffice. Instead, you will need to execute specific stages of the all-in-one installer separately to accommodate the requirements of creating and deploying a machine image:
-
Build machine image: At this stage, it is necessary to download binaries, libraries, and configuration files of the filtering node and create a machine image based on them. Utilizing the
--install-only
flag, the script copies the required files and modifies NGINX configurations for node operation. If you wish to make manual adjustments, you can opt to bypass the NGINX file modification by using the--skip-ngx-config
flag. -
Initialize a cloud instance with cloud-init: During instance initialization, the bootstrap phase (cloud registration and service start) can be executed using cloud-init scripts. This stage can be run independently from the build phase by applying the
--register-only
flag to the/opt/wallarm/setup.sh
script copied during the build stage.
This functionality is supported starting from version 4.10.0 of the all-in-one installer in batch mode. The commands below enable the sequential execution of the outlined steps:
# If using the x86_64 version:
curl -O https://meganode.wallarm.com/6.1/wallarm-6.1.0.x86_64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.1.0.x86_64-glibc.sh -- --batch --install-only
sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' /opt/wallarm/setup.sh --batch --register-only -t <TOKEN> -c US
# If using the ARM64 version:
curl -O https://meganode.wallarm.com/6.1/wallarm-6.1.0.aarch64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.1.0.aarch64-glibc.sh -- --batch --install-only
sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' /opt/wallarm/setup.sh --batch --register-only -t <TOKEN> -c US
# If using the x86_64 version:
curl -O https://meganode.wallarm.com/6.1/wallarm-6.1.0.x86_64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.1.0.x86_64-glibc.sh -- --batch --install-only
sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' /opt/wallarm/setup.sh --batch --register-only -t <TOKEN>
# If using the ARM64 version:
curl -O https://meganode.wallarm.com/6.1/wallarm-6.1.0.aarch64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.1.0.aarch64-glibc.sh -- --batch --install-only
sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' /opt/wallarm/setup.sh --batch --register-only -t <TOKEN>
Finally, to complete the installation, you need to enable Wallarm to analyze traffic and restart NGINX.
Separate installation of filtering and postanalytics nodes¶
The filtering/postanalytics switch provides the option to install the postanalytics module separately. Without this switch, both filtering and postanalytics components are installed together by default.
API Discovery-only mode¶
You can use the node in API Discovery-only mode (available since version 5.3.7). In this mode, attacks - including those detected by the Node's built-in mechanisms and those requiring additional configuration (e.g., credential stuffing, API specification violation attempts, and malicious activity from denylisted and graylisted IPs) - are detected and blocked locally (if enabled) but not exported to Wallarm Cloud. Since there is no attack data in the Cloud, [Threat Replay Testing][threat-replay-testing-docs] does not work. Traffic from whitelisted IPs is allowed.
Meanwhile, [API Discovery][api-discovery-docs], [API session tracking][api-sessions-docs], and [security vulnerability detection][vuln-detection-docs] remain fully functional, detecting relevant security entities and uploading them to the Cloud for visualization.
This mode is for those who want to review their API inventory and identify sensitive data first, and plan controlled attack data export accordingly. However, disabling attack export is rare, as Wallarm securely processes attack data and provides [sensitive attack data masking][masking-sensitive-data-rule] if needed.
To enable API Discovery-only mode:
-
Create or modify the
/etc/wallarm-override/env.list
file:Add the following variable:
-
Follow the node installation procedure.
With the API Discovery-only mode enabled, the /opt/wallarm/var/log/wallarm/wcli-out.log
log returns the following message:
{"level":"info","component":"reqexp","time":"2025-01-31T11:59:38Z","message":"requests export skipped (disabled)"}
インストールの再実行¶
Wallarmノードのインストールを削除し、再度開始する必要がある場合は、以下の手順に従ってください。
インストール再実行の影響
インストールを再実行するということは、既に稼働しているWallarmサービスを停止して削除し、再インストールまでトラフィックのフィルタリングが停止することを意味します。プロダクション環境や重要なトラフィックがある環境では、トラフィックがフィルタリングされずリスクにさらされるため、十分ご注意ください。
既存ノードをアップグレードする場合(例: 4.10から5.0へ)は、アップグレード手順をご参照ください。
