Installing Tanium Criticality

Tanium Cloud automatically handles module installations and upgrades.

For information about configuring Criticality for Tanium Cloud, see Configuring Criticality.

Use the Tanium Console Solutions page to install Criticality and choose either automatic or manual configuration:

Automatic configuration with default settings (Tanium Core Platform 7.4.2 or later only): Criticality is installed with any required dependencies and other selected products. 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 Criticality, see Import Criticality with default settings.
Manual configuration with custom settings: After installing Criticality, you must manually configure required settings. Select this option only if Criticality requires settings that differ from the recommended default settings. For more information, see Import Criticality with custom settings.
