Thank you for choosing Tanium. This document is intended to document changes between releases of Tanium Performance.

Release Date: April 14th, 2020

Feature Improvements

• Removes dependency on "Initial Content - Hardware" solution.
• Removes "Import Missing Sensors" configuration step from the Home page.
• Removes Performance users’ access to the "Initial Content - Hardware" content set.

Resolved Issues

• Fixes issues with the Performance Events and Direct Connect pages due to Tanium Server 7.4 removing the `Initial Content - Hardware` solution.

Known Issues and Workarounds

Known Issues and Workarounds

• Removal of a profile from the UI will not remove the profile from the endpoint. The profile can be removed with the “Performance - Remove Profile” action. Editing a profile is preferred to removing a profile.

Known Issues and Workarounds

• After upgrading to this version, the Performance - Tools Version saved question must be manually deleted. This question will be recreated within a few minutes with the updated targeting.
• Removal of a profile from the UI will not remove the profile from the endpoint. The profile can be removed with the “Performance - Remove Profile” action. Editing a profile is preferred to removing a profile.
• The aforementioned fix for disabled items in the profile configuration only will be fixed if each profile is edited and saved. This will create a new package for each profile containing the fix for the endpoint.
