EDR: Enable verbose logging locally on Windows sensor

EDR: Enable verbose logging locally on Windows sensor

Environment

  • EDR Sensor: Version 5.x and above (Formerly CB Response)
  • EDR Console: Version 5.x and above
  • Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions

Objective

  • How to enable verbose user and kernel-mode logging locally via Command prompt.

Resolution

  1. Back up the registry prior to enabling logging
  2. Locally enable verbose logging:
    • Open a command prompt as administrator
    • Enter the following two commands:
      • reg add HKLM\Software\CarbonBlack\config /v DebugLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 7
        reg add HKLM\Software\CarbonBlack\config /v KernelDebugLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 7
        
    • The registry setting will not take affect until the user-mode sensor service is requested to update:
      • sc control carbonblack 203
  3. Reproduce the issue
  4. Collect logs: 
  5. Disable debug logging from the command prompt
    • reg delete HKLM\Software\CarbonBlack\config /v DebugLevel /f
      reg delete HKLM\Software\CarbonBlack\config /v KernelDebugLevel /f
      sc control carbonblack 203
  6. Upload the diagnostics to the CB Vault
