Carbon Black Cloud: Why is There a Temporary Resource Increase After Upgrading the Sensor?

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: All Supported Versions

Question

Why is there a spike in resource utilization after upgrading the sensor?

Answer

After an upgrade the sensor is trying to:
  • Re-establish communication with the console
  • Checking for and applying policy updates
  • Checking for and applying signature updates
  • Downloading any new DRE rules
  • Cleanup on old persisted signature information
The extra resource utilization is temporary and should subside shortly after the upgrade is complete.
