If you are monitoring and managing your computers with both Carbon Black App Control and VMware Carbon Black Cloud, you can configure the Carbon Black App Control Server to connect to the Carbon Black Cloud and view information it has about activities on these jointly managed endpoints. The Carbon Black Cloud pages you can connect to from Carbon Black App Control depend upon whether your Carbon Black Cloud license includes Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR.

Configuration of this integration requires entering search URLs for your Carbon Black Cloud server, with the search term replaced with the string “<search>”. This is done on the System Configuration Connectors tab.
