Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)

Issue/Introduction

  • Some endpoints upgraded from the console never update
  • Issuing the command again may or may not upgrade the sensor

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud Console: All Versions
  • Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: 2.11.0 and Below
  • Linux: All Supported Versions

Cause

  • At the time of upgrade, the upgrade request was dropped before it reached the sensor, possibly due to network issues. 
  • The sensor will only receive the upgrade request once, if missed, it will never try again

Resolution

  • Sensor version 2.11.1 will have a feature to receive new upgrade hints
  • For older sensor versions, send another upgrade request from the console
