Alert Logic provides an agent that gathers data that Alert Logic must collect for analysis, such as log messages and network traffic, as well as metadata and host identification information. You must download the agent, and then deploy it to each host you want to monitor, or collect log messages. Alert Logic provides agents for Windows and Linux hosts. For more information, see Requirements for the Alert Logic Agent.

Your system may reboot to complete the installation. If you want to avoid the system reboot, and consequently pause the installation process until you manually reboot, append to the command prompt:
REBOOT=ReallySuppress

If you start the agent or reboot the image before capturing the image on your virtual machine, the agent reaches out to the Alert Logic backend to be claimed. Once claimed, the agent host identity is fixed and will be copied to any new instances spun up with this image. To validate that claiming has not occurred (and ensure that you avoid this problem), go to the Alert Logic console and ensure the agent is not present before cloning the image.

I used this PC to test Intercept X, I thought I have removed it and I have bought Hitman Pro Alert Lic for the next 3 years and was planning to install it but once I hit install it tell me that this is "managed by Sophos"? and I can't install it.

I'm using the normal version of Red Alert 3, updated to the latest patch, on Windows 7. When I open C&C:Online and click Red Alert 3, I encounter an error message reading "Red Alert 3 installation not found." I am not using Origin. I was wondering how to direct C&C:Online to my Red Alert 3 directory? I suspect the issue may be that it is looking in the default location, the C drive, whilst my hard drive is split into two partitions and all my games are installed on the D drive. There is not enough room to install all my C&C games on the C drive, so doing so is not a solution.

I also noticed that there wasn't an immediately obvious way to customise the installation directory of C&C:Online. It installed, by default, in the C drive. Perhaps if I could install it in the D drive (same drive as RA3), it would look there by default and find the game? This is pure speculation, of course.

I have added some more SSD/HDD space myself and moved my games to my D drive. Hence, I am now having this same issue. The C&C Online just looks in the C drive and there is no option for it to look for games in the D drive. Also, moving the C&C Online to the D drive does not mean it will look there, it still looks at the C drive. So, is there any help for this?

"To know what question we may reasonably propose is in itself a strong evidence of sagacity or intelligence. For if a question be in itself incongruous and begs for uncalled-for answers, it holds, sometimes, besides embarrassing the proposer, the disadvantage to seduce the unguarded listener into giving absurd answers, and we are presented with the ridiculous spectacle of one (as the ancients said) milking the he-goat, and the other holding a sieve beneath."

For RA3 the key should be at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Red Alert 3. If you don't have that key, it might be best to just reinstall to the new drive as you will be missing other keys as well.

The Alertmanager handles alertssent by client applications such as the Prometheus server.It takes care of deduplicating, grouping, and routingthem to the correct receiver integration such as email, PagerDuty, or OpsGenie.It also takes care of silencing and inhibition of alerts.

Grouping categorizes alerts of similar nature into a single notification. Thisis especially useful during larger outages when many systems fail at once andhundreds to thousands of alerts may be firing simultaneously.

Example: Dozens or hundreds of instances of a service are running in yourcluster when a network partition occurs. Half of your service instancescan no longer reach the database.Alerting rules in Prometheus were configured to send an alert for each serviceinstance if it cannot communicate with the database. As a result hundreds ofalerts are sent to Alertmanager.

As a user, one only wants to get a single page while still being able to seeexactly which service instances were affected. Thus one can configureAlertmanager to group alerts by their cluster and alertname so it sends asingle compact notification.

Example: An alert is firing that informs that an entire cluster is notreachable. Alertmanager can be configured to mute all other alerts concerningthis cluster if that particular alert is firing.This prevents notifications for hundreds or thousands of firing alerts thatare unrelated to the actual issue.

Silences are a straightforward way to simply mute alerts for a given time.A silence is configured based on matchers, just like the routing tree. Incomingalerts are checked whether they match all the equality or regular expressionmatchers of an active silence.If they do, no notifications will be sent out for that alert.

When I click install from the auto-run or directly click on the setup.exe nothing happens, not even an error message. I have tried running as administrator and with xp sp3 or 98. No matter what I do nothing happens each time.

The weird thing is that I used to have both installed and yuri worked. I wanted to play the RA2 campaigns so I uninstalled the game and tried reinstalling RA2 but now nothing works and I can't even play yuris revenge anymore either! But even now if I insert the yuri disk I can get to the install menu, but obviously I can't install it without RA2.

I've not really messed about with this myself, but would it not be a better idea to update the registry to enable loading of the safedisc driver again rather than removing the security update? Especially since on Windows 10 the "fix" is part of the OS and can't be removed AFAIK.

It's "KB3086255", and, uh, really, just google around. There are even video tutorials of that. It's basically just disabling automatic Windows updates, then uninstalling that specific update, then waiting for it to pop up again as pending update, and when it does, disabling it and telling your system not to bother you with it again. After that's done you can enable automatic updates again.

Kinky is correct, its due to copy-write protection. There are security flaws with the SECDRV service, so Microsoft essentially disabled it in windows 7. There is a workaround for it though - which is to manually start the service, then install. To do this you would:

This is kind of annoying to have to do though, and the XWIS multiplayer download (that kinky posted a link to) does include a no-cd crack, which would bypass the issue entirely. It also works with cncnet, and can be used to skirmish and other things, so it does have *somewhat* full functionality.

So going off past Exp of getting old games like settlers 3, populous the beginning, evil genius etc running on windows 7 ( these games were installed into a folder I named games in the file location c:games location may not be correct but that's the general place, no sub folders, just plonked there which stops the security issues program files x86 or x68 preventing old games to run)

Now what I did was go to my computer and copied the whole allied game disk into a folder on my desk top then executed the auto run from the folder and hey presto the install screen popped up and it installed the game "from the disk" (I assume as the disk drive was running through the installation)

Having searched the forum and google, the answers I come across say I need to have the game installed first. Well I have got it installed. Single player works fine. At no point was I asked to use my CD key so may be it's something to do with a legitimate install?

What am I missing? I have the CD's but like that article mentions, they don't work on windows 10. I have the CD key however. I also have vanilla Red Alert 2 but am told the cncnet installer thing works for that and Yuri's revenge.

If I purchase this, would I then be able to download Yuri's Revenge and play online? There's another link somewhere on these forums where it costs 24. Not sure if the one I linked to here would get me the actual games. Doesn't have much info.

Yea last time I checked CDKeys work. They should send you a key, you then redeem that within your Origin account - -us/redeem

Then you'd have access to the C&C collection in the Origin launcher.

Alert Logic provides a single agent that supports Threat Manager, Log Manager, and Web Security Manager. The agent gathers data that Alert Logic must collect for analysis, such as log messages and network traffic, as well as metadata and host identification information. You can assign a maximum of 500 agents per corresponding appliance in both Linux and Windows, regardless of appliance size. Refer to the Requirements for the Alert Logic agent page for the minimum system requirements to communicate with the physical appliance.
