Carbon Black Cloud: Is the Sensor Cluster Aware?

Products

• Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)

Issue/Introduction

Is the Carbon Black Cloud sensor Windows Cluster aware?

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud: All Supported Versions
• Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
• Microsoft Windows Clusters

Resolution

Carbon Black Cloud is not cluster aware at this time.  Our recommendation is to treat the nodes as separate machines except with the inclusion of any third-party or Microsoft recommendations.  Microsoft recommends excluding the following for a Windows cluster:

Q:\(Quorum drive)

C:\Windows\Cluster

 

Additional Information

The sensor can be installed on computers with the same name as the backend uses the device ID not the computer name to determine uniqueness
