  • Deploy Action: Update Tanium Client (Linux) - Request Package Download
  • Identify Downloaded Get Tanium Client Update Download Status (Linux)
  • Target "COMPLETED"
  • Deploy (Schedule) Action: Download Tanium Client (Linux) - Request Package Download

Option 2 - A 1 step process with the content in the Package, specific Distribution

  • This includes the install file as part of the package, but you must deploy it to a specific OS Distribution, Version, Architecture
  • Identify Targets Get Operating System and Linux Clients Not Running Latest Version

  • Deploy Action: e.g. Update OS Specific Tanium Client (Linux - rel 7 x86_64 7.2.314.xxxx)

Option 3 - A 1 step process Any Distribution

  • This figures out which package is needed at run time, and will download it using the ClientAPI, and wait for up to a hour for it to download, then install once it has downloaded
  • Identify Targets Get Linux Clients Not Running Latest Version
  • Deploy Action: Update Tanium Client (Linux)

Post Install:

  • Clean up download
  • Ask Get online from all machines with Tanium Client Update Progress (Linux) contains “COMPLETE” and Linux Clients Not Running Latest Version contains "FALSE"
  • Select “True” responses
  • Deploy Action: Update Tanium Client (Linux) – Post-Update Cleanup

Troubleshooting:

  • If you need to troubleshoot, after assessing the action log, look at TC/Downloads/tmp/tanium-client-upgrade.log and TC/Downloads/tmp/tanium-client-upgrade.log.prev
  • if something went wrong other Tanium Processes like Tanium Recorder may stay disabled. To start them again use the modules related actions like `toggle recorder`.
