Server Status Information and Configuration Options

This topic provides details about the Server Status panel of the General tab, and its configuration options.

Table 1. Server Status Information and Configuration Options

Field	Description
Carbon Black App Control Server Version	Version number of the installed Carbon Black App Control Server software. This information is read-only.
Server Address	IP address or qualified DNS name for the Carbon Black App Control Server. If you change the server address, you must reinstall the Carbon Black App Control Agent on all endpoints (although not if you change from an IP address to an equivalent DNS name or vice versa). As soon as the agent is installed, endpoints reinitialize and all files except those explicitly banned on the server become locally approved and permitted to run. So that you can use the same policies, Carbon Black App Control automatically updates existing agent installation packages with the new IP address so that they direct computers to report to the correct server when they come back online. You can use IPv6 for communications with the Carbon Black App Control Server, but certain versions of the Firefox browser do not accept a numeric IPv6 address. To avoid this problem, use one of the other supported browsers or a fully qualified DNS name.
Server Port	Carbon Black App Control Server port that is dedicated to communications with computers running the Carbon Black App Control Agent. You cannot change this port after server installation. (Read-only)
Server Timezone	The timezone used by the Carbon Black App Control Server. This setting is usually set to Automatic, which uses the same time zone as the operating system. However, to account for non-standard handling of daylight saving time in certain zones, you can set the server timezone explicitly by using the dropdown menu.
Database Schema Version	The database schema version is usually the same as the Carbon Black App Control Server version. You can, however, use an existing databases when you upgrade or reinstall the server. In this case, the database schema version can be different. For Carbon Black Support use. (Read-only)
Database Address	Shows whether your database is Local or on a separate server, in which case it provides the address. (Read-only)
Database Auth. Type	Indicates the type of database authorization you selected when you installed Carbon Black App Control Server. It is either NT, indicating that you are controlling database access by Windows NT account or group, or SQL, indicating that you are using a login and password specific to your SQL Server. (Read-only)
Database Size	Amount of disk space that the Carbon Black App Control Server database currently uses. (Read-only)
Free Local Disk Space	Amount of available local disk space on the Carbon Black App Control Server. If the Carbon Black App Control database is on the same system as the Carbon Black App Control Server, you can periodically monitor this value to determine how quickly events are accumulating and whether you must adjust the event log deletion period. (Read-only) This field reports free space on the Carbon Black App Control Server system only. If you are using a remote database, you must check available space directly on that system.
CL Version	A configuration list version number reflecting the current set of policy rules. As Carbon Black App Control Console users create bans, changes policies, and take other actions that change the configuration of your Carbon Black App Control Server, this number increments. VMware Carbon Black Support can use CL version in certain troubleshooting situations. (Read-only)
