Tanium Discover Version 1.3.2

Release Date: Sep 7, 2016

New Features

  • Improved logging around import and other Tanium Platform interactions.

Known Issues

  • If using Tanium Server 7.0.314.6048 or later, whenever you upgrade from a previous version of Tanium Discover, you must go to the Discover workbench to edit then re-save each Discovery Method in order to prevent a mismatch between the package of tools to distribute and the sensor which determines whether an update is necessary on the endpoint. Failure to do this will cause the package to continue to re-install the supporting tools for the Discovery Method every few hours. This will be addressed in an upcoming release of Tanium Discover.
  • Collecting System Status to improve Managed Asset detail is disabled to alleviate symptoms where Discover becomes unresponsive under certain conditions. All other Unmanaged Asset capability remains unchanged.
