Before you begin

To import Asset and configure default settings, see Tanium Console User Guide: Import all modules and services. After the import, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Asset version.
Manage solution dependencies
Other Tanium solutions are required for Asset to function (required dependencies) or for specific Asset features to work (feature-specific dependencies). See Solution dependencies.
Upgrade Asset
For the steps to upgrade Asset, see Tanium Console User Guide: Manage Tanium modules. After the upgrade, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Asset version.
Upgrading to Asset 1.19
In Asset 1.19, the steps required to configure the service account are no longer necessary due to the adoption of the System User Service, which performs these tasks automatically. Additionally, the Asset database is migrated to the shared RDB database in this release. Consequently, after upgrading to Asset 1.19, it might take time for the database migration to complete and for RBAC privileges and other updates to sync properly. This could lead to issues and error messages when first querying the Tanium Console. These issues should resolve on their own after a few minutes, but could take longer depending on system resources and the amount of data to migrate.
During the upgrade process, the Asset database is duplicated temporarily as part of the migration to the shared RDB database. Ensure that the Tanium Module Server has enough available disk space before upgrading to this version.
Verify Asset version
After you import or upgrade Asset, verify that the correct version is installed:
- Refresh your browser.
- From the Main menu, go to Modules > Asset to open the Asset Overview page.
- To display version information, click Info
