Issue/Introduction

How to assign a policy to the Carbon Black Cloud sensors for Linux at install

Environment

• Linux: All Supported Versions
• Carbon Black Cloud Linux Sensor: All Supported Versions

Resolution

Use the -g or --groupname parameter as shown in Linux Installer Command Line Parameters

Additional Information

• Upon completing the steps above, the sensor will display "Manually Assigned" as its group and the policy as defined by GroupName above.
• This process should only be done prior to first checkin/sensor start.  Doing this process after initial check/registration can cause "duplicate key error" and sensor disconnect.
