What is the default update rate for sensor updates?

The default update rate for sensor updates is set at 50 sensors per minute. This rate is designed to balance the need for timely data reporting with the efficient use of resources. It allows for a quick response to changes in endpoint status while minimizing system load and network traffic. Maintaining an update rate at this level ensures that the Falcon platform can effectively monitor a wide range of endpoints in real-time without overwhelming the system, providing administrators with critical information to respond to security incidents.

Additionally, this default rate can often be adjusted based on organizational needs and resource availability, but understanding this standard rate is essential for effective configuration and management within the Falcon ecosystem.
