EDR: api/v1/process Returns Local Address Instead of Remote

EDR: api/v1/process Returns Local Address Instead of Remote

Environment

  • EDR Console: All Versions

Symptoms

When using api/v1/process, the netconns are returning the local ip instead of the remote IP

Cause

This is expected behavior based on the direction of the network connection

Resolution

api/v1/process will only return one directions network information. Field 5 holds the direction, if this is "true" it's an outbound connection and v1 will return the remote IP and port. If it is "false", v1 will return the local IP and port. 
To see both local and remote IP and ports, utilze api/v2/process or higher instead.

Additional Notes

Documentation at the time of this article lists the fields as "Remote". This is incorrect and a bug ticket has been filed to update the documentation
