Use filtering on the Red Canary Endpoints page to bulk decommission a large number of endpoint simultaneously.
Caution: Be very careful when filtering so that you don't inadvertently decommission the wrong endpoints.
Bulk decommission endpoints
In the following directions, we are going to assume that you have already setup a Playbook to auto-decommission endpoints that have not checked in for 59 days. (This means that all endpoints that have yet to hit that 59 day mark will be auto-decommissioned as soon as they hit day 59. However, all the endpoints that have already hit day 59+ will NOT be auto-decommissioned. These are the endpoints that we want to target).
Note: Playbooks are not retroactive, and an auto-decommission playbook will not decommission Endpoints that stopped checking in for X number of days prior to the configuration of the Playbook itself.
For the sake of example, we'll pretend that today is January 1, 2023 (1/1/2023). We'll also assume that you configured your auto-decommission Playbook today (1/1/2023). This means that all endpoints that hit the 59 day mark today (1/1/23) will not be decommissioned. Only endpoints that hit the 59 day mark going forward will be auto-decommissioned.
- From the navigation menu, click Endpoints.
- In the Endpoint inventory filter field, clear the "state:enrolled" filter, and then enter the following filter:
- last_checkin_time:..2022-11-03 (59 days ago).
Note: The ".." preceding the date tells Red Canary to look for any endpoint whose "Last Checkin time" was 11/3/22 or before.
- last_checkin_time:..2022-11-03 (59 days ago).
- Click the magnifying glass icon to apply the filter. Red Canary will find all the endpoints that match the filter.
- Click the Select all link to the top-right of the table containing the list of endpoints that match the filter. This will select all of the endpoints in the list.
- Click the Decommission button.
The system will decommission all of the endpoints. The amount of time required to do so will depend on how many endpoints were in your list.
