Issue/Introduction
Unable to install cb-event-forwarder on CentOS 7 with libsasl2.0 package dependency errors
Environment
- Carbon Black Response Server: 6.2.4 and higher
- Carbon Black Event Forwarder: All Versions
- CentOS/RedHat 7
Cause
CentOS 7 has not been qualified with the CB-Event-Forwarder
Resolution
- Stand up a CentOS 6 server
- Install the CbOpenSource repository
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
curl -O https://opensource.carbonblack.com/release/x86_64/CbOpenSource.repo
- Install the RPM via YUM:
yum install cb-event-forwarder
- On the CB Response Application Server, log in via SSH/Terminal and run the following command to get the user and password for RabbitMQ
egrep 'RabbitMQUser|RabbitMQPassword' /etc/cb/cb.conf
- On the cb-event-forwarder server, open /etc/cb/integrations/event-forwarder/cb-event-forwarder.conf
- Edit the file with the correct information
rabbit_mq_username=
rabbit_mq_password=
cb_server_hostname=
- Port 5004 will need to be open for communication
- Start the Cb-Event-Forwarder
initctl start cb-event-forwarder
Additional Information
- Qualification work is being done in https://jira.carbonblack.local/browse/CB-27749
- A non-qualified version for Centos/RHEL 7.5 and below can be downloaded and installed from 3.5.0 https://github.com/carbonblack/cb-event-forwarder/releases at your own risk for test environments. This is not supported
