When a host belongs to more than one host group, how is sensor update precedence determined?

AGroups have no impact on sensor update policies

BSensors of hosts that belong to more than one group must be manually updated

CThe highest precedence policy from the most important group is applied to the host

DAll of the host's groups are examined in aggregate and the policy with highest precedence is applied to the host

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The option that describes how sensor update precedence is determined when a host belongs to more than one host group is that all of the host's groups are examined in aggregate and the policy with highest precedence is applied to the host. A Sensor Update policy is a policy that controls how and when the Falcon sensor is updated on a host. You can create and assign custom Sensor Update policies to different hosts or groups in your environment. Each Sensor Update policy has a precedence value, which determines its priority over other policies. The higher the precedence value, the higher the priority. If a host belongs to more than one host group, each with a different Sensor Update policy assigned, then all of the host's groups are examined in aggregate and the policy with highest precedence among them is applied to the host.

A) Groups have no impact on sensor update policies. Wow, that's super helpful. I'm sure the developers just threw that in there to really confuse us.

I just hope the answer isn't 'E) Roll a D20 to determine sensor update precedence.' That would be a real gamble!

B) Sensors of hosts that belong to more than one group must be manually updated. Oh, great, more work for the admins. I'm going with C or D.

A) Groups have no impact on sensor update policies. Really? That can't be right, groups are kind of the whole point here.

D) All of the host's groups are examined in aggregate and the policy with highest precedence is applied to the host. That makes sense, I don't want to have to manually update sensors for each group.

Having the policy with the highest precedence applied to the host definitely simplifies the process.

Groups have a big impact on sensor update policies, so it's important to understand how precedence is determined.

I agree, it's much more efficient to have the policy with the highest precedence applied to the host.

That's right, it would be too much work to manually update sensors for each group.

C) The highest precedence policy from the most important group is applied to the host. Seems like the most logical approach to me.

Definitely, can't just focus on one group when a host belongs to multiple groups.

I think option C is the correct answer. The highest precedence policy from the most important group should be applied to the host.
