Live Query API


Overview

Audit and Remediation is a real-time query and remediation solution that gives teams faster, easier access to audit and change the system state of endpoints across their organization. It contains three components; Live Response, Live Query, and Differential Analysis. This document describes the Live Query API - formerly called CB LiveOps.

With Live Query, you can ask questions of endpoints and quickly identify areas for improving security and IT hygiene by using recommended SQL queries created by Carbon Black security experts or by crafting your own. Live Query is powered by https://osquery.io, an open-source project that uses an SQLite interface.

Note: For returning users, three sub-fields inside `device_filter` named: `device_ids`, `policy_ids`, and `device_types`, have been deprecated in favor of `device_id`, `policy_id`, and `os`, respectively.

Requirements

  • For a full list of supported Sensor versions and OSs, click here
  • All API calls require an API key with appropriate permissions see Authentication

Authentication

Determine whether you use Carbon Black Cloud or VMware Cloud Services Platform to manage identity and authorization, or see the Carbon Black Cloud API Access Guide for complete instructions.


Carbon Black Cloud Managed Identity and Authentication
Customize your access to the Carbon Black Cloud APIs with Role-Based Access Control; All APIs and Services authenticate via API Keys. To access the data in Carbon Black Cloud via API, you must set up a key with the correct permissions for the calls you want to make and pass it in the HTTP Headers.

Environment
Available on majority of environments; Use the Carbon Black Cloud Console URL, as described here.

API Route
Replace the {cbc-hostname} and {org_key} with the URL of your Environment and the org_key for your specific Org.
  • Live Query Run: {cbc-hostname}/livequery/v1/orgs/{org_key}/runs
  • Live Query Templates: {cbc-hostname}/livequery/v1/orgs/{org_key}/templates

Access Level
Before you create your API Key, you need to create a "Custom" Access Level including each category:
  • Live Query > Manage queries > livequery.manage, allow permission to CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE

API Key
When creating your API Key, use the Access Level Type of "Custom" and select the Access Level you created. Details on constructing and passing the API Key in your requests are available here.


Cloud Services Platform Managed Identity and Authentication
Customize your access to the Carbon Black Cloud APIs with OAuth Access Control; API access is controlled using OAuth apps or User API Tokens. This is currently limited to the UK Point of Presence and AWS GovCloud (US).

Environment
Available on Prod UK and AWS GovCloud (US). Full list of environments is available here; Use the Carbon Black Cloud Console URL from Cloud Services Platform, as described here.

API Route
Replace the {cbc-hostname} and {org_key} with the URL of your Environment and the org_key for your specific Org.
  • Live Query Run: {cbc-hostname}/livequery/v1/orgs/{org_key}/runs
  • Live Query Templates: {cbc-hostname}/livequery/v1/orgs/{org_key}/templates

Access Level
Before you create your OAuth App, you need to create a custom Role with the following permissions under IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT > Roles > VMware Carbon Black Cloud:
  • _API.Live.Query:livequery.Manage, allow permission to CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE

API Authentication
The Cloud Services Platform supports several authentication options, Access Token, API Token, and for backward compatibility, X-Auth-Token. To learn about the differences or how to use the authentication methods see the Authentication Guide.


Quick Start

Quick Start guides follow entire workflows for common scenarios using Live Query API.

You can find many community-supported, ready-to-use osquery SQL statements in the VMware Carbon Black Query Exchange or make an SQL Query Recommendations call to get hundreds of recommendations created by Carbon Black security experts.

Use Live Query to find files on a Windows system used for Dell Vulnerability DSA-2021-088. Look for a file called "dbutil_2_3.sys" in C:\Windows or C:\Users directories. Use this to determine which endpoints have a file associated with a Dell firmware vulnerability. The workflow steps are:

1. Start Query Run with the osquery SQL payload in the example below, and filter the devices by Windows OS
2. Get Query by ID to check the status of the query from step 1.
3. Get Results of Query to get the results of the osquery SQL command from step 1.

Note: If you want this call to recur on a specific period automatically, use Recurrence Rules in the Start Query Run request body, or create a template with Live Query Templates. Follow the "Automatically Recurring Query" Quick Start guide for detailed workflow examples.
1. Start Query Run
Initiate the Live Query with the example osquery sql statement, and os filter.

Use Live Query to find installed Firefox add-ons on endpoints in your organization. Narrow down the results by targeting specific endpoints or by utilizing any of the available search criteria. Use the gathered information to determine which endpoints might be violating some of your company-specific rules or guidelines. The workflow steps are:

1. Start Query Run with the osquery SQL payload in the example below, and filter the devices by Windows OS
2. Get Query by ID to check the status of the query from step 1.
3. Get Results of Query to get the results of the osquery SQL command from step 1.

Note: If you want this call to recur on a specific period automatically, use Recurrence Rules in the Start Query Run request body, or create a template with Live Query Templates. Follow the "Automatically Recurring Query" Quick Start guide for detailed workflow examples.
1. Start Query Run
Initiate the Live Query with the example osquery sql statement, and filter the results with the "WINDOWS" keyword, to get only Windows devices.

Use Live Query to find installed Firefox add-ons on endpoints in your organization. Run the query automatically with the Live Query Templates at a specified recurring time. Use the gathered information to determine which endpoints might be violating some of your company-specific rules or guidelines. The workflow steps are:

1. Create Template with the osquery SQL payload in the example below.
2. Search Previous Query Runs to check all query runs executed with the template from step 1. to this moment.
3. Analyze the changes that occurred between two query runs.

Note: Use the Differential Analysis API to compare and understand the changes between two Live Query runs with a simple API call.
1. Create Template
Create Template, and optionally, use the device_filter object to limit your query to specific endpoints. This example template will perform the query on a daily basis.

3. Analyze Changes
To analyze the results, first, perform either Get Results of Query or Facets Query Results on each of the query id from step 2. you want to explore, then compare them using your custom logic.

Optional: Use the Differential Analysis API to compare and understand the changes between two Live Query runs with a simple API call. Follow the Compare two point-in-time Snapshots guide for more detailed information.

API Calls

Create Template and Start Query Run routes support osquery validation:

  • Validate the osquery SQL, ensuring tables are correct, table columns match, etc
  • Validate that the osquery SQL is compatible with the selected device type(s)

Device compatibility is checked against the osquery schema. The schema version depends upon the device type of the sensor. The following device schemas can be used to query for a specific device:

WINDOWS: Sensor 3.8.0.627 - https://osquery.io/schema/5.2.3

MAC: Sensor 3.7.2 - https://osquery.io/schema/5.3.0

LINUX: Sensor 2.14 - https://osquery.io/schema/5.4.0

See the Carbon Black Cloud User Guide for information about which Carbon Black Cloud sensor versions support which osquery versions.

Note: Queries will still be allowed to be added when a list of `device ids` is specified in the filter and none of the corresponding devices are compatible with the query. In these cases, no results will be returned and the query will be shown as `NOT_SUPPORTED` in the query result device summaries.

Note: In some cases, you will need to clear the AppData for apps that have been uninstalled for Live Query to fetch correct values.

Live Query Run


Start Query Run

Initiate a new Live Query search. Use your own custom SQL query, get SQL Query Recommendations, or browse Carbon Black’s approved user-submitted queries in the Query Exchange. To run the API call automatically on a schedule, include the schedule object in the request. Using a schedule will automatically create a new Template which you can reuse in the future.

Get Query by ID

Return the current details of a Live Query Run. Observe numerous metadata fields, such as match_count, total_results, or the status field which indicates the status of all deployed queries. As this call is asynchronous, you can repeat it until you receive “status”: “COMPLETE” or other relevant status, in the response body. The full status options are:

  • ACTIVE: currently running
  • TIMED_OUT: query timed out
  • COMPLETE: query completed
  • CANCELLED: user cancelled the Live Query run with Stop Query Run call
