AMP for Endpoints Group Document and Restore:

This is helpful for when connector updates are not deployed through the AMP console and the wrong deployment package was used causing the computer to change groups.

There are two script files provided:

• amp_group_document.py
• amp_group_restore.py

amp_group_document.py enumerates the various computers, groups, and policies in the Cisco AMP for Endpoints environment and writes the results to a ./data folder in JSON format. It also creates a simplified version of the data for computers -- AMP Simp_computers.json -- that can be used as a source of truth for restoring all computers back to their original group.

amp_group_restore.py returns computer objects in Cisco AMP for Endpoints back to their previous group as documented in AMP Simp_computers.json.

1. Execute amp_group_document.py to generate a listing of all your computers group memberships.
2. A copy of the AMP Simp_computers.json file that is generated using the amp_group_document.py script will need to be copied from the ./data folder to the ./known_good folder.
3. Execute amp_group_restore.py to gather the existing group that each computer is in and if that group has changed, move it back to the group listed in the ./known_good folder.

Before using you must update the following:

The authentication parameters are set in the api.cfg file in the ./config folder

• amp_client_id
• amp_client_password

Install required Python modules using: pip install -r requirements.txt
