CBC Device Control API: How to search USB Device Approvals by Serial Number

Products

• Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)

Issue/Introduction

How to search for USB device approvals by serial number.

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud Device Control API: December, 2023
• Carbon Black Cloud Backend: All versions
• Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: All versions

Resolution

The Device Control Approvals Search API doesn't have the ability to include serial number in the criteria. The only way to do this would be to use the "query" field (this is equivalent to using the search box at the top of the  Approvals page in the UI). That would look like this:

POST https://{environment}/device_control/v3/orgs/{org_key}/approvals/_search
{
"query": "ABCDEFG1234567",
"rows": 10,
"start": 0
}
