Hepsi-bir-arada yükleyici, aşağıdaki işlemleri otomatikleştirerek basit bir düğüm kurulum süreci sağlar:
-
İşletim sistemi ve NGINX sürümünüzü denetleme.
-
Algılanan işletim sistemi ve NGINX sürümü için Wallarm depolarını ekleme.
-
Bu depolardan Wallarm paketlerini yükleme.
-
Yüklenen Wallarm modülünü NGINX'inize bağlama.
-
Sağlanan token kullanılarak filtreleme düğümünü Wallarm Cloud'a bağlama.
Kullanım örnekleri¶
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.

-
Executing all commands as a superuser (e.g.
root
).
Adım 1: NGINX ve bağımlılıkları yükleyin¶
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:
Step 2: Prepare Wallarm token¶
To install node, you will need a Wallarm token of the appropriate type. To prepare a token:
Adım 3: Hepsi-bir-arada Wallarm yükleyicisini indirin¶
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:
Adım 4: Hepsi-bir-arada Wallarm yükleyicisini çalıştırın¶
-
Run downloaded script:
# If using the x86_64 version: sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' sh wallarm-6.6.0.x86_64-glibc.sh # If using the ARM64 version: sudo env WALLARM_LABELS='group=<GROUP>' sh wallarm-6.6.0.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.
İlerleyen adımlardaki komutlar x86_64 ve ARM64 kurulumları için aynıdır.
Adım 5: Wallarm düğümünün trafiği analiz etmesini etkinleştirin¶
By default, the deployed Wallarm Node does not analyze incoming traffic.
To enable traffic analysis and proxying of legitimate traffic, update the NGINX configuration file, typically located at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
.
The following minimal configuration adjustments are necessary:
-
Set the Wallarm Node to
wallarm_mode monitoring;
. This mode is recommended for initial deployments and testing.Wallarm also supports more modes like blocking and safe blocking, which you can read more.
-
Determine where the node should forward legitimate traffic by adding the
proxy_pass
directive in the required locations. This could be to the IP of an application server, a load balancer, or a DNS name. -
If present, remove the
try_files
directive from the modified locations to ensure traffic is directed to Wallarm without local file interference.
server {
...
+ wallarm_mode monitoring;
location / {
+ proxy_pass http://example.com;
- # try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
...
}
Adım 6: NGINX'i yeniden başlatın¶
Restart NGINX using the following command:
Adım 7: Trafiğin Wallarm düğümüne gönderilmesini yapılandırın¶
Update targets of your load balancer to send traffic to the Wallarm instance. For details, please refer to the documentation on your load balancer.
Adım 8: Wallarm düğümünün çalışmasını test edin¶
-
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.
Adım 9: Dağıtılan çözüme ince ayar yapın¶
Varsayılan ayarlarla dinamik Wallarm modülü kurulmuştur. Filtreleme düğümü, dağıtımdan sonra ek bazı yapılandırmalar gerektirebilir.
Wallarm ayarları NGINX yönergeleri veya Wallarm Console UI üzerinden tanımlanır. Yönergeler, Wallarm düğümünün bulunduğu makinede aşağıdaki dosyalara eklenmelidir:
-
Sunucu ve location seviyesindeki ayarlar için
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
-
http seviyesindeki ayarlar için
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
-
Wallarm düğümü izleme ayarlarını içeren
/etc/nginx/wallarm-status.conf
. Ayrıntılı açıklama bu bağlantıda mevcuttur
Aşağıda gerekirse uygulayabileceğiniz tipik ayarlardan bazıları yer almaktadır:
-
Filtreleme düğümünün arkasındaki proxy sunucusunun dengeleyicisinin kullanılması
-
wallarm_process_time_limit
yönergesinde tek bir isteğin işleme süresini sınırlama -
NGINX
proxy_read_timeout
yönergesinde sunucu yanıtını bekleme süresinin sınırlandırılması -
NGINX
client_max_body_size
yönergesinde azami istek boyutunun sınırlandırılması
Başlatma seçenekleri¶
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/6.6/wallarm-6.6.0.x86_64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.6.0.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/6.6/wallarm-6.6.0.aarch64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.6.0.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/6.6/wallarm-6.6.0.x86_64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.6.0.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/6.6/wallarm-6.6.0.aarch64-glibc.sh
sudo sh wallarm-6.6.0.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 does not work. Traffic from whitelisted IPs is allowed.
Meanwhile, API Discovery, API session tracking, and security vulnerability detection 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 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)"}
Kurulumu yeniden başlatma¶
Wallarm düğümü kurulumunu silmeniz ve yeniden başlamanız gerekiyorsa, aşağıdaki adımları izleyin.
Kurulumu yeniden başlatmanın etkisi
Kurulumu yeniden başlatmak, hâlihazırda çalışan Wallarm servislerini durdurmayı ve silmeyi içerir; bu da yeniden kurulum tamamlanana kadar trafik filtrelemesini duraklatır. Üretim veya kritik trafik ortamlarında dikkatli olun; çünkü bu durum trafiği filtresiz ve risk altında bırakır.
Mevcut bir düğümü yükseltmek için (örn. 4.10'dan 5.0'a), yükseltme talimatlarına bakın.
