Question
If I have a custom proxy setting in my sensor configuration, will that be overwritten when upgrading the sensor?
Answer
| Method | Windows | Linux | Answer |
|---|
| Upgrading via Console | X | X | Proxy config setting will persist |
|
Upgrading manually (via MSI)
| X | | Proxy config setting will persist |
| Upgrading manually (via sh) | | X | Proxy config setting will be overwritten |
Additional Notes
WINDOWS
Windows will take configurations / settings found in the sensorsettings.ini file and write them to the registry. Default configurations will be updated with each upgrade. Custom configurations (like proxy) where no default value is present will persist unless:
- Uninstalled
- Deliberately overwritten with a new value from sensorsettings.ini
The above applies to MSI or console upgrades.
LINUX
Linux will take the sensorsettings.ini which comes packaged with the sensor archive and write it to:
/var/opt/carbonblack/response/
Upgrading from the console will preserve the settings. Upgrading manually via running the shell script which comes packaged with the sensor archive will overwrite the existing sensorsettings.ini in that directory, thereby overwriting any custom configurations.
