1. About Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer

Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery Analyzer™ is an open, scalable sandboxing analysis platform that provides on-premise, on-demand analysis of file and URL samples.

Deep Discovery Analyzer supports out-of-the-box integration with Trend Micro products such as InterScan Messaging Security, InterScan Web Security, ScanMail for Microsoft Exchange, ScanMail for IBM Domino, Deep Discovery Inspector, and Deep Discovery Email Inspector. Deep Discovery Analyzer also processes samples manually submitted by threat researchers and incident response professionals.

An open Web Services Interface enables any product or process to submit samples and obtain detailed results in a timely manner. Custom sandboxing supports environments that precisely match target desktop software configurations resulting in more accurate detections and fewer false positives.

  2. Connect the appliance to a power source.
  3. Connect the monitor to the VGA port at the back of the appliance.
  4. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports at the back of the appliance.
  5. Connect the Ethernet cables to the management and custom ports.

7. Known Issues

  1. When a secondary appliance is configured as the new primary appliance of a cluster and it does not use the IP address of the previous primary appliance, the following occurs:
    1. If the previous primary appliance was registered on a Trend Micro Control Manager server, the new primary appliance is not registered.
    2. Any products integrated with the previous primary appliance are not integrated with the new primary appliance. The products cannot submit samples and they are not able to get the suspicious objects list.
    3. The secondary appliances of the cluster are not registered in the new primary appliance.
  2. The cloud sandbox setting is automatically disabled when the license expires and it is not automatically enabled when the license is renewed.
  3. After the primary appliance of a cluster becomes inoperable and a secondary appliance from the cluster is configured to be the new primary appliance, the following occurs:
    1. All samples that were being analyzed when the primary appliance becomes inoperable do not have an analysis result.
    2. Any configuration changes made on the primary appliance within one day of it becoming inoperable may not synchronize with the secondary appliances in the cluster.
  4. If the system time is modified during sample processing, the "Submissions" screen may display negative values for processing time and queued time.
  5. Control Manager is unable to receive suspicious object information if Deep Discovery Analyzer is reinstalled and configured using the same IP address. Register the appliance again on the Control Manager console.
  6. High availability does not function if the direct connection between active primary and passive primary appliances (via eth3) is interrupted.
  7. If the passive primary appliance is detached from the active primary appliance and both remain powered on, the appliances send duplicate data to other servers (such as syslog and backup servers). Reinstall the Deep Discovery Analyzer software on the detached appliance to use it as a standalone appliance.
  8. Deep Discovery Analyzer may send duplicate email notifications if the system time is set backward.
  9. The following issues occur once after the system time is modified:
    1. If the system time is set backward:
      - Deep Discovery Analyzer may not automatically generate operational reports in one schedule period. Generate reports manually when necessary.
      - Event counts on submission page and widgets may be inconsistent.
    2. If the system time is set forward, Deep Discovery Analyzer generates duplicate operational reports.
  10. If an offline passive primary appliance is removed from the cluster and then used as a standalone appliance, it will have the same UUID as another existing appliance. Reinstall the Deep Discovery Analyzer software to use the removed appliance as a standalone appliance.
  11. The Dashboard screen has the following limitations:
  12. Deep Discovery Analyzer may delete an image if the appliance is restarted while Virtual Analyzer is configuring the instances of that image.
  13. Virtual Analyzer reports (PDF) may contain incorrect page breaks.
  14. SNMP settings cannot be configured on clustered (passive primary and secondary) Deep Discovery Analyzer appliances. These settings are automatically synced from the active primary appliance and
    will cause a SNMP server to receive identical device location information from all cluster nodes.
  15. No SNMP trap messages are sent for alerts that have been disabled on the management console.
  16. When performing sandbox analysis using a Windows 10 RS3 or Windows Server 2016 image that requires higher system resources, the performance of Deep Discovery Analyzer may be affected. Trend Micro recommends you contact Technical Support to evaluate the system load capacity on Deep Discovery Analyzer before using a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 sandbox environment for analysis.
  17. Using a proxy server configured with multiple accounts where each account uses a different authentication method may prevent some Deep Discovery Analyzer modules from connecting to that proxy server.
  18. If an ICAP client submits a sample with HTTP compression and you select the "Enable MIME content-type validation" option on the "ICAP" screen, Deep Discovery Analyzer will still perform an ICAP pre-scan on the sample.
  19. When uploading the Deep Discovery Analyzer upgrade package on Microsoft Edge, the management console may become unresponsive until the upload process is complete.
  20. The management console does not support user login sessions using the IPv6 address on Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.
