ACC-V with SAM pro

I am implementing acc-v with sam, however I do not see data being populated in samp_sw_usage.
I have followed below article and installed osquery on the device. Enabled sam policies and checks as per article below.

Note - I have installed midless acc.

Kindly let me know if anyone have faced similar issues and if I am missing anything.

Hi @mayurirathi153 ,

 

could you please the outcome of each step to get a better understanding of “where” the process of gathering usage data stucks?

 

Like, does the acc-v is generating a .snapshot file as result of the osquery setup etc.

 

Thanks, Dennis

Hi,

 

1)installed osquery on the device. And can see below log files created.

I do not see snapshot file.

2)Modified osquery.conf and osquery.flags as per document below .

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/xanadu-it-operations-management/page/product/agent-client-collect...

 

Content of osquery.conf file-

  "packs": {

 

     "sam-metering": "C:\\ProgramData\\ServiceNow\\agent-client-collector\\cache\\acc-visibility-modules\\bin\\sam-metering.conf"

Content of osquery.flags file –

--logger_rotate=true
--logger_rotate_size=26214400
--logger_rotate_max_files=1
--watchdog_level=1

 

3)Can see below sam related files generated in bin folder

There are two things which I am confused about –

  • Acc created below location-

C:\Users\servicenow\AppData\Local\AgentClientCollector

 

Where as osquery is running at below -

C:\Users\servicenow.PREC8PYP8Y3.000\AppData\Local\AgentClientCollector\SAM à where I see marker.json file

Does it have to be under same location? Which is - C:\Users\servicenow\AppData\Local\AgentClientCollector

If yes, how do I change it? These are auto generated folders.

 

Note- ACC is midless and silent installation.

 

2)There are two sam policy one with osquery and other with non osquery.

So if we enable non-osquery policy, do I still need to install osquery for sw usage?
