MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for alienvault-agent [2]:

Orphaned package, version is from 2020.

USM Anywhere and AlienVault are now part of "AT&T Cybersecurity".

They don't seem to provide installation tarballs from their website.

"USM Anywhere is a software as a service (SaaS) security monitoring
solution that centralizes threat detection, incident response, and
compliance management across your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid
environments"

"The AlienVault Agent is a lightweight endpoint agent based on osquery
[...]. It enables endpoint detection and monitoring with central
management, contributing to complete and effective threat visibility,
detection, and compliance."

As this package is abandoned, outdated, and there are no votes or
comments, I suggest to delete it.

I would think that only an "insider" (subscriber) to this service
would possibly be able to adapt a PKGBUILD for the deployment of the
current version. But this kind of software does not seem like one for
a casual user to install on their own. Likely this requires
centralized mass-deployment at an organization's fleet of client
computers, providing customized configuration with that deployment.
