Carbon Black Cloud: Device_username field does not have the current user.

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud Console
  • Carbon Black Cloud Splunk Plug-in
  • Carbon Black Cloud QRadar Plug-in
  • Carbon Black Cloud 3rd Party API Users

Symptoms

Device_username field does not have the current user.

Cause

Alerts show user who installed the product rather than logged-in user.

Resolution

  • Console update: Run By will be replaced by Process username as part of UAE 3.0 Release due in Aug 2023.
  • API queried results will be updated as CBC Plug-ins for QRadar, Splunk and other 3rd party tools are updated to utilze the new API V7 calls. 
     

Additional Notes

  • The v7 alert API will include a process_username field which is the user that ran the process of the alert, rather than the user that installed the device.
  • The API's are available now and when the Plugins get updated this change should appear.
  • More information can be found in the related content below.
