Tanium Cloud Release Date: October 13, 2020

Enhancements

  • This release includes a refreshed user experience, bringing more reporting, consistency, and configurability to the forefront.
  • New Tanium Home page with quick links that provide shortcuts to frequent actions and views.
  • 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 the 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 Cloud Release Date: September 10, 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.

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.
  • 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

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.
