Verifying installation of Endpoint Configuration

Tanium™ Cloud automatically handles installation of Tanium Client Management and Endpoint Configuration.

For information about how Endpoint Configuration is configured for Tanium Cloud, see Configuring Endpoint Configuration.

Endpoint Configuration is installed as part of Tanium Client Management. When you install Client Management the Endpoint Configuration workbench becomes available from the Tanium Console. For more information, see Tanium Client Management User Guide: Installing Client Management.

(Tanium Core Platform 7.4.5 or later only) Optionally, you can set the Endpoint Configuration action group to target the No Computers filter group by enabling restricted targeting before importing Client Management. This option prevents Endpoint Configuration from automatically deploying tools to endpoints. To configure an action group, see Tanium Console User Guide: Managing action groups. To enable or disable restricted targeting, see Tanium Console User Guide: Dependencies, default settings, and tools deployment.

The following default setting is configured:

When you import Client Management (regardless of whether you use automatic configuration), the following default setting is configured for Endpoint Configuration:

Setting	Default Value
Action group	The action group is set to the All Computers computer group. Restricted targeting disabled (default): All Computers computer group Restricted targeting enabled: No Computers computer group If you use restricted targeting to set the Client Management and Endpoint Configuration action groups to target the No Computers filter group, then make sure that before using any modules, you first set the Client Management action group to target the appropriate endpoints (typically All Computers), and then set the Endpoint Configuration action group to target the same endpoint. For more information, see Tanium Client Management User Guide: Configure the Endpoint Configuration action group and Configure the Endpoint Configuration action group in this guide. Modules cannot deploy configurations or tools to endpoints that are not targeted by the Endpoint Configuration action group. Use the appropriate targeting groups within modules to control targeted deployment of configurations or tools. If you import Client Management with restricted targeting disabled, leave Leave the Endpoint Configuration action group set to the default of All Computers. If you use restricted targeting to set the Client Management and Endpoint Configuration action group to target the No Computers filter group, then before using any modules, first set the Client Management action group to target the All Computers computer group, and then set the Endpoint Configuration action group to target the All Computers computer group. If you have endpoints with operating systems that are not supported by Endpoint Configuration, contact Tanium Support.

Action group

The action group is set to the All Computers computer group.

Restricted targeting disabled (default): All Computers computer group
Restricted targeting enabled: No Computers computer group

If you use restricted targeting to set the Client Management and Endpoint Configuration action groups to target the No Computers filter group, then make sure that before using any modules, you first set the Client Management action group to target the appropriate endpoints (typically All Computers), and then set the Endpoint Configuration action group to target the same endpoint. For more information, see Tanium Client Management User Guide: Configure the Endpoint Configuration action group and Configure the Endpoint Configuration action group in this guide. Modules cannot deploy configurations or tools to endpoints that are not targeted by the Endpoint Configuration action group. Use the appropriate targeting groups within modules to control targeted deployment of configurations or tools.

If you import Client Management with restricted targeting disabled, leave Leave the Endpoint Configuration action group set to the default of All Computers. If you use restricted targeting to set the Client Management and Endpoint Configuration action group to target the No Computers filter group, then before using any modules, first set the Client Management action group to target the All Computers computer group, and then set the Endpoint Configuration action group to target the All Computers computer group. If you have endpoints with operating systems that are not supported by Endpoint Configuration, contact Tanium Support.

After you import or upgrade Client Management, verify that the correct version of Endpoint Configuration is installed:

Refresh your browser.
From the Main menu, go to Administration > Shared Services > Endpoint Configuration to open the Endpoint Configuration Overview page.
