Reporting requirements
Tanium™ Reporting is not yet available for on-premises installations of the Tanium™ Core Platform.
Review the requirements before you install and use Reporting.
Core platform dependencies
Make sure that your environment meets the following requirements:
- Tanium™ Core Platform servers: 7.4.2.2063 or later
- Tanium Console: 1.4.2.0053 or later
Solution dependencies
Other Tanium solutions are required for Reporting to function (required dependencies) or for specific Reporting features to work (feature-specific dependencies). The installation method that you select determines if the Tanium Server automatically imports dependencies or if you must manually import them.
Some Reporting dependencies have their own dependencies, which you can see by clicking the links in the lists of Required dependencies and Feature-specific dependencies. Note that the links open the user guides for the latest version of each solution, not necessarily the minimum version that Reporting requires.
Tanium recommended installation
If you select Tanium Recommended Installation when you import Reporting, 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 Reporting 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 Reporting, the server automatically updates those dependencies to the latest available versions.
If you select only Reporting 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
Reporting has the following required dependencies at the specified minimum versions:
- Core Content 1.3.100 or later
- Default Computer Groups 1.0.6 or later
- Default Content 8.1.95 or later
- Tanium™ Blob 1.0.6 or later
- Tanium™ Interact 2.11.49 or later
- Tanium™ RDB 1.0.84 or later
- Tanium™ System User service 1.0.40 or later
Feature-specific dependencies
If you select only Reporting to import, you must manually import or update its feature-specific dependencies regardless of the Tanium Console or Tanium Core Platform versions. Reporting has the following feature-specific dependencies at the specified minimum versions:
- Tanium Connect 5.9.65 or later to create connections with reports as the data source.
Tanium™ Module Server
Reporting 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.
For information about Module Server sizing in a Windows deployment, see Tanium Core Platform Deployment Guide for Windows: Host system sizing guidelines.
Endpoints
Reporting does not deploy packages or endpoint tooling to endpoints. For Tanium Client operating system support, see Tanium Client Management User Guide: Client version and host system requirements.
Host and network security requirements
Specific ports and processes are needed to run Reporting.
Ports
The following ports are required for Reporting communication.
Source | Destination | Port | Protocol | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|---|
|
Module Server (loopback) | 17524 | TCP | Internal purposes; not externally accessible |
Configure firewall policies to open ports for Tanium traffic with TCP-based rules instead of application identity-based rules. For example, on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, configure the rules with service objects or service groups instead of application objects or application groups.
For Tanium Cloud ports, see Tanium Cloud Deployment Guide: Host and network security requirements.
Security exclusions
If security software is in use in the environment to monitor and block unknown host system processes, Tanium recommends that a security administrator create exclusions to allow the Tanium processes to run without interference. The configuration of these exclusions varies depending on AV software. For a list of all security exclusions to define across Tanium, see Tanium Core Platform Deployment Reference Guide: Host system security exclusions.
No additional process exclusions are required.
Target Device | Notes | Exclusion Type | Exclusion |
---|---|---|---|
Module Server | Process | <Module Server>\services\reporting-service\TaniumReportingService.exe |
No additional process exclusions are recommended.
