Abstract
A method for automatically reregistering a clone virtual machine with a cloud security monitoring service is provided. The method generally includes detecting a connection between a cloud agent running in a virtual machine on a host and a hypervisor module on the host. In response to detecting the connection, the cloud agent queries the hypervisor module for one or more first identifiers of the virtual machine. The method generally includes checking a database, by the cloud agent, for one or more second identifiers stored in the database matching the one or more first identifiers received from the hypervisor module and, based on finding no second identifiers stored in the database matching the one or more first identifiers, sending a request to the cloud security monitoring service to register the virtual machine with the cloud security monitoring service.
