Deployment
First Invitation Email
Didn't receive the invitation email for the first Panther user?
1.Has the deployment finished successfully? The CloudFormation stack(s) should be CREATE_COMPLETE.
2.Check your spam folder - the email is sent from [email protected]
3.From the CloudFormation web console, double-check the FirstUserEmail parameter in your stack - you may have mistyped the email. If so, read on.
4.(Optional) Check the Panther CloudWatch dashboards for any errors and/or
search the /aws/lambda/panther-cfn-custom-resources for error messages to help identify the root cause of the issue.
If you didn't receive the invite for whatever reason, you'll need to send another invite manually.
1.Download the appropriate invite opstool binary from the latest release assets​
2.Run the tool, e.g.: ./invite-darwin-amd64 - it will prompt you for the user name and email
If your email already exists in Panther, you can try adding an email suffix: [email protected]
No Rules or Policies
Every Panther deployment should automatically install many Python rules and policies. If you don't see any on your first login, there may have been an issue downloading them during deployment.
To fix:
1.Download the analysis set manually
2.Login to the Panther web app and navigate to Cloud Security > Policies (or Log Analysis > Rules)
3.Click "Create New" and choose "Bulk". Upload the zipfile you downloaded in step 1.
4.(Optional) Check the Panther CloudWatch dashboards for any errors and/or
search the /aws/lambda/panther-cfn-custom-resources for error messages to help identify the root cause of the issue.
