Falcon Cookbook

Cookbook Version

This cookbook provides resources for installing and configuring the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor.

Maintainers

This cookbook maintained by the CrowdStrike Cloud Integration Architects.

cloud-integrations@crowdstrike.com

Requirements

API clients are granted one or more API scopes. Scopes allow access to specific CrowdStrike APIs and describe the actions that an API client can perform.

Ensure the following API scopes are enabled (if applicable) for this role:

  • When install_method is set to api (default)
    • Sensor Download [read]
    • Sensor update policies [read]

Platform Support

*Supported on:

  • Alma/Rocky/CentOS Linux
  • Amazon Linux 1|2
  • Debian/Ubuntu
  • Oracle
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Red Hat CoreOS
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES)

*Refer to the Falcon documentation for exact versions supported

Resources

Usage

  • Add depends 'falcon' to your cookbook's metadata.rb
  • Use the resources shipped in the cookbook in a recipe, the same way you'd use core Chef resources (file, template, directory, package, etc).
falcon_install 'falcon' do
  client_id 'LKJSDLFKJSLKDJFKLJ'
  client_secret 'SDLKFJLKSJDFLKJSDFLK'
  action :install
end

Test Cookbooks as Examples

The cookbooks ran under test-kitchen make excellent usage examples.

The test recipes are found at:

test/cookbooks/test/

Getting Started

Here's an example of installing/managing the latest Falcon sensor:

falcon_install 'falcon' do
  client_id 'LKJSDLFKJSLKDJFKLJ'
  client_secret 'SDLKFJLKSJDFLKJSDFLK'
  action :install
end

falcon_config 'falcon' do
  cid 'JKLJSDLKFJLKSJDFLKJSDLKFJ-28'
  notifies :restart, 'falcon_service[falcon]', :delayed
  action :set
end

falcon_service 'falcon' do
  action [:start, :enable]
end

You might not want to install the latest, and instead be interested in N-1 deployment. The falcon_install resource might look like:

falcon_install 'falcon' do
  client_id 'LKJSDLFKJSLKDJFKLJ'
  client_secret 'SDLKFJLKSJDFLKJSDFLK'
  version_decrement: 1 # This number corresponds to N-
  action :install
end

... # falcon_config

... # falcon_service

You can pass in certain options to configure the Falcon sensor. Here's an example of passing in some tags:

... # falcon_install

falcon_config 'falcon' do
  cid 'JKLJSDLKFJLKSJDFLKJSDLKFJ-28'
  tags %w(tag1 tag2)
  notifies :restart, 'falcon_service[falcon]', :delayed
  action :set
end

... # falcon_service

See full documentation for each resource and action for more information.
