Installing Asset
Tanium Cloud automatically handles module installations and upgrades.
For information about configuring Asset for Tanium™ Cloud, see Configuring Asset.
Use the Solutions page to install Asset and choose either automatic or manual configuration:
- Automatic configuration with default settings (Tanium 7.4.2 and later only): Asset is installed along with all other licensed solutions. After installation, the Tanium Server automatically configures the recommended default settings. This option is the best practice for most deployments. For more information about the automatic configuration for Asset, see Import Asset with default settings.
- Manual configuration with custom settings: After installing Asset, you must manually configure required settings. Select this option only if Asset requires settings that differ from the recommended default settings. For more information, see Import Asset with custom settings.
Before you begin
- Read the release notes.
- Review the Asset requirements.
Import Asset with default settings
When you import Asset with automatic configuration, the following default settings are configured:
The following default settings are configured:
Setting | Default value |
---|---|
Action group |
|
Service account |
The service account is set to the account that you used to import the module. Configuring a unique service account for each Tanium solution is an extra security measure to consider in consultation with the security team of your organization. See Configure service account. |
Import schedule |
The import schedule is set to start collecting data and generating reports. |
To import Asset and configure default settings, be sure to select the Apply All Tanium recommended configurations check box while performing the steps in Tanium Console User Guide: Import all modules and services. After the import, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Asset version.
Import Asset with custom settings
To import Asset without automatically configuring default settings, be sure to clear the Apply All Tanium recommended configurations check box while performing the steps in Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions. After the import, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Asset version.
To configure the service account, see Configure service account.
