Tanium Interact Version 2.4.75.0000

Release Date: November 10, 2020

Enhancements

  • Tanium Data Service now issues fewer questions when harvesting sensor data

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue where regexes with negative lookahead failed in cached view.
  • Fixed an issue where cached view did not respect "all" qualifier in filters.
  • Fixed an issue where failure to resolve a string would abort sensor harvest.
  • Fixed an issue where $substring() did not work in cached view.
  • Fixed an issue where "Does not contain" didn't work correctly in cached view.
  • Fixed an issue where post-filtering didn't support the equals operator in Tanium Data Service.


Tanium Interact Version 2.4.74.0000

Release Date: October 20, 2020

Enhancements

  • Improved the loading speed of dashboards with multiple saved questions.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed an issue where computer groups and questions with negation filters would not return cached data as expected.
  • Fixed an issue where advanced “not” filters were not applied to cached results.
  • Fixed an issue where copying a question to question builder could change the logic of a question with a complex nested filter.
  • Fixed an issue where the total item count was incorrect.
  • Fixed an issue where filtering cached results by text would show gray bars for rows if no results matched instead of “No Results”.
  • Fixed an issue where saved questions could load without any results.


Tanium Interact Version 2.4.50.0000

Release Date: September 15, 2020

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed issue where a new install of Interact could fail to start the Tanium Data Service under certain conditions.
  • Fixed issue where upgrades to Interact failed when the hostnames on Tanium Servers need to be changed.

Tanium Interact Version 2.4.48.0000

Release Date: August 18, 2020

Enhancements

  • Improved collection of multi-column sensors.
  • Updated service log format to JSON and moved log files to the logs subdirectory.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed issue where a new install of Interact could fail to start the Tanium Data Service under certain conditions.
  • Fixed issue where upgrades to Interact failed when the hostnames on Tanium Servers need to be changed.
  • Fixed issue where drill down or deploy action on no results targeted all endpoints when the sensor returned multiple rows.
  • Fixed issue where the loading indicator remained after canceling the expired question modal.
  • Fixed issue where filtering registered sensors in the collection configuration always returned disabled sensors even if they were not registered.
  • Fixed issue where actions could not be deployed from merged question results.
  • Fixed issue where the service session could expire and not be refreshed immediately.
  • Fixed issue where the data service responded with 502 errors.
  • Fixed issue where duplicate saved questions could be created for parameterized sensor collection and cleanup would only remove one of the questions.
  • Fixed issue where a sensor could not be harvested because the Service Account user did not have rights to read all sensors.
  • Fixed issue where Patch workbench would see Internal Server Errors when the users management rights group contained a sensor to which the user did not have read access.
  • Fixed issue where Patch workbench could no longer access parameterized sensor results when the Patch workbench service account is changed from Administrator to a Patch Service account.

Known Issues

  • When viewing cached data, you cannot combine advanced filters with the filters applied to the questions for selected sensors.
  • In some instances, when filtering on a sensor in a question with multiple sensors selected, the cached data excludes endpoints that do not match the sensor filter.
  • Advanced filters on the Count column do not currently apply to cached data.
  • When setting the service account, Interact does not check for the required permissions. This results in data not being collected if the account does not have the correct permissions. To avoid this, set the service account to a user with the Administrator reserved role or the Data Collection Service Account role.
  • In an Active-Active (HA) cluster the service credentials can revert back to the previous instance if the credentials are only set on one server. Set the credentials on both Tanium Server Interact workbenches to resolve this issue.
  • The data service uses Computer Serial Number along with Computer ID and Computer Name to uniquely identify an endpoint. If Computer Serial Number fails to return a value, the endpoint and its results are not included in the cached results. This is an issue in some virtualized environments such as Proxmox and AWS. If you encounter this issue, contact your TAM to resolve it by choosing a different identifier or submitting an improvement for the Computer Serial Number sensor.
  • Features not available in this release:
    • Clear column sorting
    • Copy all results to clipboard

Installation Notes

  • Interact 2.3 and later are available in Tanium Core Platform 7.3.314.4250 or later. Interact 2.1 and later are not automatically imported when you initially log into the Tanium Console.
  • Use the Tanium Solutions page to install Interact 2.1 and later: click the Install with Recommended Configurations button and select the Apply Tanium recommended configurations check box to install Interact with default settings.
  • Interact 2.1 and later use a service account to periodically collect results for specific sensors. When you select the Apply Tanium recommended configurations check box, the service account is set to the account that you used to import the module. To manually configure a service account for Interact, clear the check box.

Requirements

  • Tanium Core Platform 7.3.314.4250 or later.
  • For Windows deployments, make sure the Tanium Module Server adheres to the sizing guidelines listed at [Core Platform Deployment Guide for Windows: Tanium Module Server host system].
  • For Windows deployments, host-based firewalls and antivirus detection applications must allow (do not block, quarantine, or otherwise process) the <Module Server installation folder>\services\tanium-data-service\TaniumDataService.exe process.
