| Description | 'Unsupported Platform' Error when Generating Package Manifest |
| Scope | When running the following command in the Lacework CLI |
| Solution |
When running the following command in the Lacework CLI, the following error is output:
This error will occur on any supported platform (i.e. Windows/Linux) that does not have a package manager. Ex: Flatcar, Google COOS
Lacework collects the package information from each host with an installed agent. Software packages are assessed by package managers such as dpkg, apt, and yum. Some distributions of the Linux OS do not have a package manager such as Flatcar or Google COOS. If you try to run a scan with Lacework CLI or try to collect a package manifest, you will see the error above due to the OS not having any package managers.
Once you have confirmed that your OS is supported and a package manager is installed, Lacework should be able to run a host vulnerability package scan.
For Vulnerability Assessment, please take a look at the supported Hosts using the links below.
