Environment
- Carbon Black Cloud (formerly PSC) Sensor: January '18 Release and Later
Objective
Change a sensor from Manually Assigned to Auto-Assigned, thereby allowing a sensor to be automatically assigned to an existing Sensor Group, based on its criteria
Resolution
- Select the Endpoints Page from the left-hand menu in the Carbon Black Cloud Console
- Select the sensor(s) you wish to Auto-Assign
- From the 'Take Action' drop-down menu select 'Assign policy'
- Select Automatic assignment option
- Click the 'Save' Button
Additional Notes
- The default status of Sensors when installed via the Unattended Installation method and specifying the 'Group_Name' syntax, is 'Manually Assigned'
- If Sensor Groups are configured in the environment, it will override what is set at install. To override the automatic grouping, manual policy assignment post install is required.
- Sensors prior to 3.6.0.1897 did not report metadata updates unless a change had been made, this would effect sensor grouping and cause some endpoints to get stuck on "manually assigned".
