EDR: Alert Generated for Old Event

EDR: Alert Generated for Old Event

Environment

  • EDR Server: All Versions
  • EDR Sensor: All Versions

Symptoms

  • A new alert is generated for an old process
  • Event was never alerted on in the past

Cause

The sensor had not checked into the server since the event was originally recorded until recently

Resolution

This behavior is expected. 

Additional Notes

  • Event times are based on the local time of the endpoint. If the endpoint's clock is off, this will also occur
  • When a sensor goes offline, it will continue to collect data until a pre-configured size limit. Once that limit is reached, no further data will be collected until other information is offloaded to the EDR server upon checkin.
