Configuration Import Export

Export all configurations

The Export-FalconConfig command gathers configurable items from your Falcon environment and exports them as a ZIP archive. The following example will create a file called FalconConfig_<FileDateTime>.zip in your current directory containing all the available configurations.

Export-FalconConfig

NOTE: Users are not included in the export/import process because they are unique and cannot be duplicated.

Export specific configurations

Similar to the regular command, a zip file will be created, but in this example it will only include HostGroup, FirewallGroup (including Firewall Rules) and FirewallPolicy items.

Export-FalconConfig -Select HostGroup, FirewallGroup, FirewallPolicy

Import configurations

Using the Import-FalconConfig command, you can re-create any items that are present in the export but are not present in your authenticated Falcon environment. Import-FalconConfig loads the files within the ZIP, checks them against the existing items in the target environment, and creates any items that are not present.

Import-FalconConfig -Path .\FalconConfig_<FileDateTime>.zip

NOTE: Unless -AssignExisting is included, items that depend on the existence of a specific host group will not be created.

For example, if you attempt to import a Machine Learning Exclusion that is assigned to the host group "Example Group" and "Example Group" already exists in your environment, the exclusion will not be created. If it is possible to create the item without the dependency (like a policy without assigned host groups), it will be created.

AssignExisting

Including the -AssignExisting parameter when running Import-FalconConfig will cause existing host groups to be assigned to created items when they match groups that would have been created as part of the import.

Import-FalconConfig -Path .\FalconConfig_<FileDateTime>.zip -AssignExisting

If -AssignExisting is not specified, existing items will not be assigned to created items when using Import-FalconConfig.

ModifyExisting

The -ModifyExisting parameter forces the Import-FalconConfig command to analyze and modify a list of selected items based on your target import.

Import-FalconConfig -Path .\FalconConfig_<FileDateTime>.zip -ModifyExisting PreventionPolicy, SensorUpdatePolicy

If -ModifyExisting is not specified, existing items will not be modified when using Import-FalconConfig.

ModifyDefault

-ModifyDefault works similarly to -ModifyExisting, but allows Import-FalconConfig to modify platform_default policies based on your target import.

Import-FalconConfig -Path .\FalconConfig_<FileDateTime>.zip -ModifyDefault PreventionPolicy

If -ModifyDefault is not specified, platform_default policies will not be modified when using Import-FalconConfig.
