  • 1.  [DLP 12.5] Incidents delay. Takes longer to show on Incidents reports.

    Hello everyone!

    I'm testing new version of DLP, 12.5, and have found some strange stuff I haven't found in earlier versions:

    I set up a Endpoint Server and a client. Just test some random policies and I found out that the Enforce takes longer to receive the policy on Incidents page.

    See the traffic and the Endpoint Server count a number of incidents

    Which differs from the count when I have a look at the Server Overview:

    2014-09-07 18_45_23-Symantec Data Loss Prevention.png

    And it actually takes some time to update the incidents count and to show it on the Incident Reports. 

    When look at the incident finally receive, I see there's a difference in timing between Occured on and Reported on status. And sometimes, timing in between can be up to 9 to 30 minutes.

    Has anybody had this problem before? I'm finding it on this new version and wonder if it's a bug?

    Thanks in advance.

    This is becuase version 12.5 onwards agent have transient connection to enforce server to scale for handling more endpoint agents. You can revert to real-tile connection if no. of endpoints reporting to the enforce server are less than 10000.

    To revert change advanced agent settings to: -

     

    EndpointCommunications.HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_IN_SECONDS.in=10

    EndpointCommunications.IDLE_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS.int=0

     

    Endpoint Server Setting: -

     

    ServerCommunicator.CONNECT_POLLING_INTERVAL_SECONDS= 15

    Thanks Tariq!

    This is the proper configuration for real-time connection.

    I should review the DLP 12.5 admin guide, as I see quite a few changes in this version.
