Move newly installed agents(hosts) to a specific endpoint group automatically without admin intervention

MithunKT — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 05:04:29 GMT

Hi All,

We are trying to move around 2000+ hosts to cortex XDR. We have started installing agents in a phase-wise approach not all at once.

Also, have created a specific endpoint group with customized prevention policies.

Now the problem is that the admin has to manually move newly installed hosts to this group every time.

Is there any way that new hosts can be moved automatically to this specific group soon after agent installation?

Hi @MithunKT ,

Thanks for posting to our Live Community discussion board. I would recommend creating a dynamic endpoint groups based on the filters instead. Use the filters to define the criteria you want to use to dynamically populate an endpoint group. Dynamic groups support multiple criteria selections and can use AND or OR operators. For endpoint names and aliases, and domains and workgroups, you can use * to match any string of characters. As you apply filters, Cortex XDR displays any registered endpoint matches to help you validate your filter criteria.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Thanks,

SIlviu
