Sensor Update Services v2 API Migration

The Sensor Update Service v2 API will be deactivated on July 31, 2024.

Overview

The new v3 Sensor Update Services API lets you batch sensor updates automatically across your organization and provides visibility into the update jobs progress. This API can also update large quantities of devices — up to 250k — without putting your network at risk.

This guide is to assist Carbon Black Cloud customers in migrating from the v2 Sensor Update Services API to the v3 Sensor Update Services API.

In this document, you will find

  • A mapping of deprecated v2 API endpoints to new v3 API endpoints
  • A mapping of deprecated v2 API schema to new v3 API schema
  • New endpoints and fields specific to the v3 API
