Carbon Black Cloud: Is uninstall and reinstall required to add additional cores to a Linux machine?

Products

• Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)

Issue/Introduction

If a Linux endpoint is provisioned with too few CPU cores to meet minimum requirements, does the Sensor need to be uninstalled prior to adding additional core(s) and then reinstalled?

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud Linux Sensor: All Versions
  • Audit & Remediation (was CB LiveOps)
  • Endpoint Standard (was CB Defense)
  • Enterprise EDR (was CB ThreatHunter)
• Linux: All Supported Versions

Resolution

No. The Sensor can remain in place as the machine is brought into a supported configuration in relation to CPU cores.
