Installing Deploy
Tanium Cloud automatically handles module installations and upgrades.
For information about configuring Deploy for Tanium Cloud, see Configuring Deploy.
Use the Solutions page to install Deploy and choose either automatic or manual configuration:
- Automatic configuration with default settings (Tanium Core Platform 7.4.2 or later only): Deploy 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 Deploy, see Import Deploy with default settings.
- Manual configuration with custom settings After installing Deploy, you must manually configure required settings. Select this option only if Deploy requires settings that differ from the recommended default settings. For more information, see Import Deploy with custom settings.
Before you begin
- Read the release notes.
- Review the Deploy requirements.
- If you are upgrading from a previous version, see Upgrade Deploy.
Import Deploy with default settings
When you import Deploy with automatic configuration, the following default settings are configured:
The following default settings are configured for Deploy:
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. |
Deploy deployment templates |
The following deployment templates are created:
|
Deploy maintenance windows |
An Always On maintenance window is created, and enforced against the All Computers computer group. |
Deploy configurations | For action locked machines, only applicability scanning is enabled, so that deployments cannot run on action locked machines. |
To import Deploy 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, re-import, or update specific solutions. After the import, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Deploy version.
Import Deploy with custom settings
To import Deploy 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 Deploy version.
To configure the service account, see Configure service account.
To organize computer groups, see Organize computer groups.
To configure the Deploy action group, see Configuring Deploy.
Manage solution dependencies
When you start the Deploy workbench for the first time, the Tanium Server checks whether all the Tanium modules and shared services (solutions) that are required for Deploy are installed at the required versions. The Deploy workbench cannot load unless all required dependencies are installed. If you selected Tanium Recommended Installation when you imported Deploy, the Tanium Server automatically imported all your licensed solutions at the same time. Otherwise, if you manually imported Deploy and did not import all its dependencies, the Tanium Console displays a banner that lists the dependencies and the required versions. See Solution dependencies.
Perform the following steps if a banner indicates any Deploy dependencies are not installed:
- Install the dependencies as described in Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions.
- From the Main menu, go to Modules > Deploy to open the Deploy Overview page and verify that the Console no longer displays a banner to list missing dependencies.
Upgrade Deploy
For the steps to upgrade Deploy, see Tanium Console User Guide: Import all modules and services. After the upgrade, verify that the correct version is installed: see Verify Deploy version.
Verify Deploy version
After you import or upgrade Deploy, verify that the correct version is installed:
- Refresh your browser.
- From the Main menu, go to Modules > Deploy to open the Deploy Overview page.
- To display version information, click Info
