Map requirements

Review the requirements before you install and use Map.

Tanium dependencies

In addition to a license for the Map product module, make sure that your environment also meets the following requirements.

Component	Requirement
Platform	7.0.314.6319 or later 7.1.314.3071 or later 7.2.314.2831 or later 7.3.314.3420 or later
Tanium™ Client	6.0.314.1540 or later recommended

Tanium™ Module Server

Map is installed and runs as a service on the Module Server host computer. The impact on the Module Server is minimal and depends on usage.

Endpoints

Map content is supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints.

Map uses the Tanium™ Client Recorder Extension to gather data from endpoints. The recorder and engine are supported on the same Linux and Mac endpoints as the Tanium Client. For Windows endpoints, a minimum of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is required. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 are not supported.

Up to 1 GB of free disk space might be required for the Map database.

Host and network security requirements

Specific processes are needed to run Map on the Tanium Module Server and endpoints.

Security exclusions

If security software is in use in the environment to monitor and block unknown host system processes, your security administrator must create exclusions to allow the Tanium processes to run without interference.

Table 1: Map security exclusions
Target Device	Process
Module Server	<Tanium Module Server>\services\map\node.exe
Endpoint computers	<Tanium Client>\Python27\TPython.exe Tanium Recorder: (Windows) No exclusion required (macOS) <Tanium Client>/Tools/Trace/TaniumRecorder (Linux) <Tanium Client>/Tools/Trace/recorder
