Clean up Tags list

L1 Bithead

Hello All,

I want to clean up my tags list, because some of the old tags that we used are not needed any more.

We don't have active devices with tags that I want to remove.

Any idea from where i can do that?

 

Regards,

Vasil

Hi @VasilPetrov, thank you for writing to Live Community.

To remove endpoint tags follow these steps:

Remove an Endpoint Tag

Depending on where you created your tag, Server or Agent, you can choose to edit or remove the tags.

  • From the Cortex XDR agent:

    1. Navigate to the Cytool folder location and open the CLI as an administrator.

    2. Cytool Argument: cytool endpoint tags remove “tag1 [,tag2, ...,tagN]”.

From the Cortex XDR management console:

  1. Navigate to Endpoints  All Endpoints  Tags field.

  2. Select one or more endpoints, right-click, and select Endpoint Control  Remove Endpoint Tags.

  3. Save the tag names you removed.

You can read more about managing endpoint tags here.

Hello,

Sorry but probably i did a wrong explanation of my case. I want to clean up tags list from management portal.

When you want manually to assign a tag from management portal you receive a pop-up with all used tags. I want to clean up that list. Some of my tags were for test purposes and now I want to clean them. Example in the attachment. 

Hi @VasilPetrov

 

In your case wherein you would like to clean up tags from management portal, I'd recommend submitting a support case as from management portal you won't be able to do cleanup but support team could help you for the same. You can submit a support case here.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks

I already did a case, but sadly this feature to clean up tags list is not available.

PA have been working to implement it, so we need to wait.

@VasilPetrov If your intention is to clean up the "suggestion" tags that is no longer needed, only support case could help. Specifically, you need to request the Product/backend engineer to have it remove. But there's a catch here, you need to ensure the tag is no longer using on any endpoint AND all the alerts/incidents associated to the tag purged.
Just an example here:

  • An endpoint A was tagged with "Test_Tag"
  • Somehow endpoint A was involved with a security incident, some alerts were generated.
  • The security incident and alerts will involved the tag "Test_Tag"
  • Then you have the tag "Test_Tag" untagged from endpoint A.
  • Despite that the "Test_Tag" is not apply to any endpoints, the tag is still in used due to the association with the alerts/incidents.
  • In this case, you'll need to wait after the retention period (6 months) of those alerts in order to remove the tag completely. 

Hope this help.

I have been looking for solution for the exact same thing as well.

It would be great if a cleanup feature for unnecessary tags would be added in a future release.

Tim
