EDR: How is the Sensor License Count Determined?

Products

• Carbon Black EDR (formerly Cb Response)

Issue/Introduction

How is the sensor license count determined?

Environment

• EDR: 6.x and Higher (Formerly CB Response)

Resolution

The "Current Sensor Count" refers to the total number of sensors that have reported in the last 24 hours. To see this value:

1. Log into the EDR web interface as an admin user
2. Click Server Dashboard.
3. Review the "License Information" panel.

 

Additional Information

• The "Online Sensor Count" is the total number of sensors reported in the last 5 minutes.
• The "Total Sensor Count" is the sum count of all sensors ever installed - every time a new sensor registers with the cluster, EDR increments this number. If a sensor is uninstalled and later reinstalled, then it counts as 2 for this value. This value has no licensing effect.
• If the same license is used on multiple EDR servers, the combined license count won't display on the server console, only the individual license count being used per server.
