Please update this post.  The following documents are more current (as at 25th June 2019):

CB Protection 8.1.4 - OER (Operating Environment Requirements)

CB Protection 8.1.4 - SQL Server Configuration

I wasn't able to find an updated Supported Integrations document (possibly one doesn't exist).

[csamet]

@sjwalters updated, thank you!

There is supposed to be a hot fix server version 8.1.5.4, does anyone have any information on where I can find it?

[bwuchte]

@nvantuss  Please open a support case if a hot fix is needed.  We do like to confirm it's right for the issue prior to distributing.

Hope this helps.

[nvantuss]

I do have a case opened, Nathan just sent me the link, thank you.

[kewkewkew]

is that a link to release version 

8.1.0.3546

[dorrba]

Can anyone point me to the upgrade procedure for upgrading from CbP 8.1.0 to 8.1.6?

[snownndsunshine]

CB Protection Server Installation Guide has those steps in it.

[esullivan]

@dorrba as @snownndsunshine mentioned, you can find that info here: https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Documentation-Downloads/CB-Protection-8-1-6-Server-Installation... under the Upgrading from a Previous CB Protection Version section.

[prav]

Anyone have a test plan for server and agents? we are planning to upgrade to 8.1.6 was wondering if there is any documentation around test cases. Thanks

[jtait]

@esullivan

Could the table be updated to include the Rules Installer version and release date?

[esullivan]

@jtait  - what say you @csamet ?

[csamet]

@jtait @esullivan  Done!  

[esullivan]

@csamet appreciate it sir!

[jtait]

Much appreciated! @csamet @esullivan 

[hdeassis]

All-

After upgrading to 8.1.8.258, how soon after will the agents be updated? For some reason all agents are marked as upgrades not enabled?  How can I fix that and have all the agents upadated. I have uploaded the latest ver of the agents as well.

Please see the attached images that I have uploaded.

Thank you for your help.

Henrique

[chucklan]

@hdeassis  You will need to re-enabled agent upgrades under System Configuration -> Advanced Options -> Cb Protection Agent. Normally when you do an upgrade, the automatic upgrade option gets turned off due to the amount of traffic agents can generate while upgrading.

[hdeassis]

Great!

Thank you for your help. I'll try that and report back.

Hey Guys, where do I find the SQL Performance Tests mentioned in the SQL Config guide ? 

The link in this article is broken

https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/How-to-download-the-Cb-Protection-SQL-Performanc...

[Caveman]

Advice from VMWare PS Manager in Sydney, says the tool is no longer used.
If thats the case then the CB Protection SQL Configuration Guide 8.1.10 , page 15 needs revising to remove the SQL Performance Test. Also the SQLIO tool has been replaced with the CBPTest-V3...

[BFortin]

Updated content for version 8.5.0, which also included rebranding.  This site was rebranded accordingly.

[BFortin]

Replaced 8.5.0 doc links w/ 8.1.10 doc links

[xstuartbarrettx]

@BFortin,

I had planned on upgrading our servers to 8.1.10. Can you provide the link to download this server update?

Thanks,

-Stuart

[BFortin]

Hello Stuart

Unfortunately we only post a link to the latest installer version. 

If you want to install an older version, please contact Customer Support and they can provide you the older installer.

I am planning to upgrade from 8.1.6 to 8.5.8. I am trying to download but getting failed after sometime. Can you post the link to download the installer 8.5.8?

[bhicks]

Is there a way to be notified when a new version is released or do you just need to keep an eye on the Website? Maybe like an email or a flash heading across one of the App Control Sites?    Thanks

[esullivan]

I try to post all new releases here: https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Announcements/ct-p/announcements

[esullivan]

@bhicks thank you and likewise, sir!

[nkenn148]

Trying to find the agent installer for CB App control v8.1.10.8.8. I cannot locate it anywhere. Can someone help?

[esullivan]

Pretty sure the product team takes down old installers. I believe you could request older versions from Support though.

[UZ]

The installer link for v8.8.0 is not working.  Where can i get the latest installers?

[davidedwards]

where is the installer for 8.8.0 link ?

[cfsup]

All the server installer links are showing as "archived" after clicking into them. Are they moved to other locations (e.g. VMware portal)?

[johdu]

Same problem here....getting Access Denied .... 
Trying to download the latest version of the server install.
Having no problem with the client package.
