Endpoint clients send "heartbeat" messages to the Endpoint Security Management Server to check the connectivity status and report updates. The time between heartbeat messages is known as the heartbeat interval.
Note - The default heartbeat interval is 60 seconds. |
The endpoint computer Compliance state is updated at each heartbeat. The heartbeat interval also controls the time that an endpoint client is in the About to be restricted state before it is restricted.
It is possible to create restricted policies that will automatically be enforced once the endpoint client enters a restricted state
To configure the heartbeat interval and out-of-compliance settings:
The Connection Settings Properties window opens.
The About to be restricted state sends users one last warning and gives an opportunity to immediately correct compliance issues before an endpoint computer is restricted. You can configure the period of time that a user has to correct the issues after the warning message shows.
You define this period of time in heartbeats.
To configure the time period that users have before an endpoint computer is restricted:
The Connection Settings Properties window opens.
When you configure this time period, we recommend that you give users sufficient opportunity to:
The formula for converting the specified time period to minutes is:<number of heartbeats > * <heartbeat interval (in seconds)> * 60
