The General Settings screen is where you can configure the Scan Methods and Monitoring Level for your macOS agents.
Trend Vision One Endpoint Security agents can use one of two scan methods when scanning for security risks. The scan methods
are smart scan and conventional scan.
-
Smart ScanTrend Vision One Endpoint Security agents that use smart scan are referred to as
smart scan agents
in this document. Smart scan agents benefit from local scans and in-the-cloud queries provided by File Reputation Services.This is the default scan method type. -
Conventional ScanAgents that do not use smart scan are called
conventional scan agents
. A conventional scan agent stores all Apex One (Mac) components on the agent endpoint and scans all files locally.
Monitoring level is the degree of vigilance and strictness applied when detecting
and responding to potential threats. Raising the level increases the sensitivity of
the sensor, which increases the number of detections and alerts. Higher levels allow
for more strict monitoring to help with situations like on-going threat investigations,
but might generate a large number of nonessential logs and impact endpoint performance.
Trend Micro recommends setting your monitoring level to 2 - Moderate to balance more
relevant data with minimal impact on your endpoints. Some components used by higher
monitoring levels are not available on all platforms.
