The Status column against the Sensor listed in the System Faults monitor displays one of the following status for the listed Sensors:

  • Active— All channels are up.

  • Attention— One or two communication channels are down.

  • Disconnected— All three communication channels are down.

  • Standby— The Command Channel is still being set up.

  • Uninitialized— There is a failure in the initial setup.

  • Unknown— Displayed when a Sensor has been added to the Trellix IPS user interface, but the actual Sensor has not been set up yet to communicate with the Manager.

Clicking the link in the Status cell for a Sensor opens the Summary page.

For Sensors, status is determined by the state of three communication channel parameters: Command Channel, Alert Channel, and Packet Log Channel. The Summary page displays information on Sensor health and the three communication channel parameters.
