Clone Machines and Sensors using a Golden Image
You may choose to distribute sensors across your organization by creating a template, or golden image, of a virtual or physical machine with a sensor already installed. You can then distribute the golden image to all endpoints in your organization.
Cybereason sensors include mechanisms to generate unique IDs for a machine based on a variety of parameters. The sensor process regenerates this ID automatically on the sensor machine start to ensure that the sensor has its own uniquely identifier.
To deploy the golden image, do the following:
Install the Cybereason sensor on the machine that will become the golden image.
Verify that the sensor is connected to the server and is configured correctly (in the System > Sensors screen).
Create the golden image of the machine.
Deploy the golden image to other machines.
Verify that the sensors on all deployed golden image machines are connected to the server and are configured correctly (in the System > Sensors screen).
See Virtualization Support for more information on deployment on VMs.
Note
After you deploy sensors in a virtual machine (VM) or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment by using a golden image, on the System > Sensors screen you may notice duplicate entries or duplicate sensor entries override each other’s data and the connection to the server. For troubleshooting steps on how to resolve this issue, see Duplicate Sensors or Data Overrides After VM or VDI Sensor Deployment with Golden Image.
