Managing GuardDuty security agents

You can manage the GuardDuty security agent for the resource that you want to monitor. If you want to monitor more than one resource type, make sure to manage the GuardDuty agent for that resource.

Important

When working with GuardDuty security agent for an Amazon EC2 instance, you might install and use the agent on the underlying host within an Amazon EKS cluster. If you had already deployed a security agent on that EKS cluster, the same host could have two security agents running on it at the same time. For information about how GuardDuty works in this scenario, see Handling dual security agents.

The following topics will help you with the next steps to manage the security agent.
