Trends requirements
Review the requirements before you install and use Trends.
Tanium dependencies
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Platform | 7.2 or later |
| Tanium™ Client | 6.0.314.1540 or later recommended |
| Tanium Content | The initial Trends gallery uses sensors that are included in Tanium™ Patch, the Initial Content pack, and the Managed Applications content pack. If this content is not present when you import the galleries, the corresponding sources, boards, panels, and sections are not created. |
| License | Core platform entitlement. Contact your Technical Account Manager (TAM) if Trends does not appear on the Tanium™ Console solutions page. |
Tanium™ Module Server
Trends installs and runs as a service on the Module Server. The impact on Module Server sizing is minimal and depends on usage. Consult with your TAM for details.
Host and network security requirements
This section lists requirements Trends may have in addition to those for the basic Tanium core platform components.
Ports
The following ports are required for Trends communication.
| Component | Port number | Direction | Service | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Module server | 17452 | Loopback |
node.exe | Internal purposes; not externally accessible |
| Module Server | 17462 | Loopback | postgres.exe | Internal purposes; not externally accessible |
Security exclusions
If the Module Server is deployed in an environment that has security software to monitor and block unknown host system processes, your security administrator must create exclusions to allow the Tanium processes to run without interference.

| <Tanium Module Server>\services\trends\node_modules\@tanium \postgresql\lib\win32\bin\postgres.exe |
