Question

How does EDR calculate Host Uptime and Sensor Uptime? 

 

Answer


Sensor Uptime
  • Sensor Uptime is updated by OS API when the sensor checks in. The value is not necessarily cleared when the sensor goes offline.
  • So it is a representation of the information known about the uptime of the endpoint at the last point in time when the sensor was online and connected to the console.
  • This is not information that is collected and uploaded to the console independent of the sensors online status.
  • A machine that is "offline" and unable to communicate with the primary node will not update the "uptime" information in the console.

Host Uptime
  • EDR pulls uptime from OS API.
