Environment
- Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: 3.5.0.1627 and Higher
- Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
Objective
How to enable ConfigProps locally via the cfg.ini file
Resolution
Note: If you have RepCLI enabled please
use this KB
- Enable bypass mode on the sensor from the PSC Console
- Navigate to cfg.ini file and open with Notepad
- Add the ConfigProp name and desired value in the format:
ConfigPropName=Value
- Save changes to cfg.ini with "Save As" option; maintain the same file name and select a destination outside of the original cfg.ini directory
- Move the old cfg.ini file out of the original directory and keep as a backup
- Move the new cfg.ini file with the ConfigProp entry into the original directory
- Reboot the machine
- Disable bypass mode
Additional Notes
- Configprops in general are items similar to installation switches ex. Debug=1,CurlCrlCheck=false and other configurable items that the sensor can load at start time.
- With the 3.5.0.1627+ sensor it is now possible to write / save Configprops to cfg.ini
- Configprops can also be specified at install time as part of the install string
- When the Rules Management System is deployed later this year these changes can be made via the console
