hx server detection aging source-alert period

Prev Next

Sets the aging period for Endpoint Security (HX) source alerts. Source alerts are notices of suspicious activity sent to the Endpoint Security (HX) software from other Trellix products (such as Network Security and Email Security — Server appliances).

Old source alerts are of limited value to your organization and reduce the performance of your system and analysts. By default, the Endpoint Security (HX) software automatically ages (removes) alerts after specified periods of time. This command allows you to specify the aging period after which older alerts are removed.
