Tanium Console and Interact requirements

Web browsers

Use a recent version of one of the following supported browsers to access the Tanium Console:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari

The Tanium Console is designed for a display resolution of at least 1280 pixels wide and at least 720 pixels high. The Tanium Console might not appear as designed in browser windows smaller than these dimensions.

Core platform dependencies

The license entitlement for the Tanium Core Platform includes the Tanium Console, Tanium™ API Gateway, and Interact.

The Tanium Console and Interact depend on other Tanium Core Platform components:

  • Tanium license: The license entitlement for the Tanium Core Platform includes the Tanium Console, Tanium™ API Gateway, and Interact. For details, see Managing the Tanium license.

  • Tanium Core Platform servers: The Tanium Console and Interact require the following minimum versions of Tanium Core Platform servers, which include the Tanium Server, Tanium Module Server, and Tanium Zone Server:

    Solution Version Minimum Tanium Core Platform Servers Version
    Console 3.4 7.5.5
    Console 3.2 7.5.4
    Console 3.1 7.5.3
    Console 3.0 7.5.2

    Console 2.0 7.4.4
    Interact 2.8.105 7.5
    Interact 2.3 7.4

You can update Tanium Console and Interact versions independently from the Tanium Core Platform. For details, see Managing Tanium solutions.

Interact dependencies

If you select Tanium Recommended Installation when you import Interact, the Tanium Server automatically imports all your licensed solutions at the same time. See Tanium Console User Guide: Import all modules and services.

Import specific solutions

If you select only Interact to import and are using Tanium Core Platform 7.5.2.3531 or later with Tanium Console 3.0.72 or later, the Tanium Server automatically imports the latest available versions of any required dependencies that are missing. If some required dependencies are already imported but their versions are earlier than the minimum required for Interact, the server automatically updates those dependencies to the latest available versions.

If you select only Interact to import and you are using Tanium Core Platform 7.5.2.3503 or earlier with Tanium Console 3.0.64 or earlier, you must manually import or update required dependencies. See Tanium Console User Guide: Import, re-import, or update specific solutions.

Required dependencies

Interact has the following required dependencies at the specified minimum versions:

  • Tanium™ Core Content 1.3.100 or later
  • Tanium™ Default Computer Groups 1.0.6 or later
  • Tanium™ Default Content 8.4.29 or later
  • Tanium™ RDB Service 1.2.151 or later
  • Tanium™ System User Service 1.0.77 or later

For details about these content-only solutions, see Initial content.

Feature-specific dependencies

If you select only Console to import, you must manually import or update its feature-specific dependencies regardless of the Tanium Console or Tanium Core Platform versions. Console has the following feature-specific dependencies at the specified minimum versions:

  • Tanium™ Reporting 1.11 or later is required to display Reporting dashboards on the Tanium Home page.

Solution dependencies

All versions of Tanium modules and shared services support Tanium Console 3.0 or later and Tanium Core Platform 7.5.2 or later except the following solutions, which require a minimum version. Before updating to Console 3.0 or later, update all solutions to the required versions (see Import or update specific solutions) and uninstall any solutions that you do not plan to upgrade (see Managing Tanium solutions).
