Introduction: ClientUpgrade-NonWindows

Update Tanium Clients for Non-Windows, using Tanium, to the latest available version (see sensor "Latest Available Non-Windows Client Version"). The solution provides content for Client-API based downloads as well as direct downloads (installers in the package)

On Linux systems, if SELinux is enabled, it is temporarily disabled, client upgraded and SELinux re-enabled, to ensure the success of the upgrade. This content deprecates ClientUpgradeNonWindows for all previous versions of 7.4 clients

Usage

This content will allow you to update Non-Windows based Tanium Client installations to specific Tanium Client versions. Coverage is for:

  • 7.2.314.3584
    • RedHat/Centos 8
    • RedHat/Centos/Oracle 5,6,7
    • SuSE 11,12
    • Debian 6,8,9
    • Ubuntu 14,16,18
    • AIX 6,7 requires xlC.rte 13.1.13.1
    • Oracle/SunOS Solaris 10,11
    • Apple OSX (Mac) 11-14
  • 6.0.314.1579
    • Ubuntu 10,12

Changes

  • fix permissions for MacOS update
  • adjust verification queries to use contains vs regex match
  • adjust saved action
  • can migrate to a new server by putting tanium.pub/tanium-init.dat and servername.txt in Tools/ClientUpgrade
    • servername.txt is a list of new servers, comma separated, no spaces. Will become new ServerNameList. A tanium.pub or tanium-init.dat MUST also be present
    • After upgrade, Sensors, Strings and Tools folder will be removed to be loaded by new infrastructure (if migrating to new server)
    • TAGs will be maintained and additional MIGRATED tag added
      • Be aware this means more downloads for that environment! (Sensor Sync, new Tools etc)
      • No migration is performed if no servername.txt/tanium.pub/tanium-init.dat
      • It is possible to replace JUST the taniumpub/tanium-init.dat without changing servers with this method
    • Customer can update the `Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest` package to include the new files.
  • 7.4.2.2063 - no 7.4 AIX yet, and debian 6 deprecated.
  • 7.2.314.3608 OSX 11+ only - Support for 7.2.314.3608 client on OSX
  • If SELinux is enabled, it is temporarily disabled, client upgraded and SELinux re-enabled
  • check for RPM DB corruption and halt if RPM db is corrupt
  • Check for sufficient storage space in Tanium file system (does not check other FS)
  • 7.2.314.3584 - Support for 7.2.314.3584 client
  • support for systemd cgroups
  • Log retreival sensor to aid in any troubleshooting
  • Update of Dashboard to include additional SQs
  • Whitelist updated to have expiry
  • Inproved Debian version detection
  • Incorrect verification query fixed
  • Added manaifest release comparison operators `<` and `>` in addition to existing `*` and number literal
  • Manifest comparison can be 0 or 1 decimals
  • Manifest is now delivered through a dedicated action (and associated scheduled action) instead of built into sensor (ran out of sensor space)

HowTo

The how-to covers:

  • Content Install
  • Client Update
  • Client Migrate
  • Client Uninstall
  • Troubleshooting

Content Install:

  1. Download the content from the URL above
  2. Sign if necessary
  3. Stop any Scheduled Actions that deploy the Manifest
  4. Under Sensors or Packages, select Import XML
  5. Select the downloaded XML file
  6. Click IMPORT and accept any notifications needed.

Client Update/Upgrade

Upgrading the client allows you to move from an older version to the latest available version.  After performing the actions in "Content Install" you must complete the Prereqs and then any one of the 3 options for installing.

      1.  PreReqs:

        • The manifest file provides the endpoint with the rules and versions of files to update
        • The latest manifest file must be distributed, after import (and content update).
        • If you want to Migrate and Update you CLONE (and MODIFY your clone of) the Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest package to also distribute the "tanium.pub"/"tanium-init.dat" and "servername.txt" files.  See the " <a href="#Client_Migrate"> Client Migrate </a> " section below
        • To distribute the Manifest (and optional migration content):
          • A saved Action Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest handles this automatically though you may need to put it into a different Action Group:
            • Menu->Actions->Scheduled Actions
            • Select: `Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest`
            • If required: Move to a different Action Group ("More->Change Group")
            • If required: Enable that Scheduled Action
          • OR
          • Ask:  Get Non-Windows Client Update Details from All Machines
            • Target those with a "Manifest Correct = False"
            • Deploy Action " Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest "
      2. Client Update
          • There are 3 ways to update the Tanium Client using this Content.  Pick the approach that matches your operational needs.
          • Option 1 or Option 2 is recommended
          • Option 1 - A 1 step process, any Distribution
            • The Tanium Client will determine which installer is needed at run time and will download ONLY the required installer using the ClientAPI.
            • The client will then wait for up to an hour for it to download, then install once it has downloaded
            • Example Process:
              1. Identify Targets :
                • Question: Get Non-Windows Clients Not Running Latest Version
                • OR
                • Saved Question: Non-Windows Tanium Client Update Versions
              2. Deploy Action: Update Tanium Client (Non-Windows)
                • select the " Continue if Upgrade Not Required " checkbox if you want to migrate even if no upgrade is required



          • Option 2 - A 2 step process (download, install), any Distribution
            • This supports the separation of the download phase from the installation phase, as 2 separate actions, e.g. download immediatly but install during a scheduled maintenance window
            • Example Process:
              1. Identify Download Targets :
                • Question: Get Non-Windows Clients Not Running Latest Version
                • OR
                • Saved Question: Non-Windows Tanium Client Update Versions
              2. Deploy Action: Download Tanium Client Update (Non-Windows)
              3. Identify Install Targets :
                • Identify Downloaded - Question (e.g.): Get Tanium Client Update Download Status (AIX) , Target "COMPLETED"
                • OR
                • Schedule same targets as Download - Saved Question: Non-Windows Tanium Client Update Versions
              4. Deploy (Schedule) Action: Update Downloaded Tanium Client (Non-Windows)
                • select the " Continue if Upgrade Not Required " checkbox if you want to migrate even if no upgrade is required



        • Option 3 - 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
          • Example Process:
            • Identify Targets Get Operating System and CPU Architecture and Non-Windows Clients Not Running Latest Version
            • Target specific Distribution (e.g. RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.4 x64)
            • Deploy Action: e.g. Update OS Specific Tanium Client (rel 7 x86_64 7.2.314.xxxx)
              • select the " Continue if Upgrade Not Required " checkbox if you want to migrate even if no upgrade is required


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

Client Migrate:

This content also supports migrating clients from one infrastructure to another. At present, Index DB and Recorder are NOT kept. After upgrade, Sensors, Strings and Tools folder will be removed to be loaded by new infrastructure (if migrating to the new server).  TAGs will be maintained and additional MIGRATED tag added

You can migrate to a new server by putting a tanium.pub/tanium-init.dat and servername.txt in Tools/ClientUpgrade folder, alongside the Manifest.  Luckily, the  Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest content will deliver those just by adding them to the Files section of that package (or your clone of that package).

      • Be aware this means more downloads for that environment! (Sensor Sync, new Tools etc, after migration to the new environment)
      • No migration is performed if no servername.txt/tanium.pub/tanium-init.dat
      • Actions:
        1. Create "servername.txt". A Comma Separated list of server names with NO SPACES. The endpoint will set it's new ServerName/ServerNameList to this value
        2. Obtain the tanium.pub or tanium-init.dat files.
        3. Deploy these to the endpoint to <taniumclientfolder> /Tools/ClientUpdate</taniumclientfolder>
          • Customers can update the Distribute Client Update Non-Windows Manifest package to include the new files.

    When performing the update with one of options 1,2 or 3, the update will detect the servername.txt (and tanium.pub/tanium-inid.dat) and will migrate the endpoint to the desired system. If no upgrade is required (Tanium Clieint Version is NOT OLDER than the upgrade version) then the migration will only occur if you also select the " Continue if Upgrade Not Required " checkbox

    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
          • Get Tanium Client Update Log (Non-Windows) to examine the log. Remember to target the machine in question
          • Get Tanium Client Update Progress (Non-Windows) to look at the progress/status, e.g. INSTALLING, COMPLETED etc.
        • 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`.
