Server Configuration

Most major server configuration is done after the Carbon Black EDR server is installed, when the cbinit script is run. cbinit configures a combination of initial settings in both static configuration files and PostgreSQL.

Daemon configuration data is generally static, and is stored in flat files that follow typical Linux conventions. Dynamic run-time configuration data is stored in PostgreSQL and configured by using the Carbon Black EDR console.

The following table describes the major static configuration files.
