Issue/Introduction

At the the command line interface (CLI) of Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Platform 2.0.x, the status_check utility displays a different result each time it is run.

Resolution

Upgrade to ATP 3.0, where the status_check utility no longer performs DNS lookups when a proxy is specified within ATP configuration.
