Products

• Carbon Black EDR (formerly Cb Response)

Issue/Introduction

What is the expected behavior when a node or minion is commented out of cluster.conf?

Environment

CB Response Server: All Supported Versions

Resolution

• Commenting out the node in cluster.conf renders it invisible to the cluster
• Sensors that were dedicated to the removed node or minion will be automatically redistributed amongs the remaining nodes and minions
• After rebuilding a node, restoring the cluster.conf with the un-commented node or minion should restore the original distribution
