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:
