This issue can have multiple causes including:
Device Name: <MY_DEVICE_NAME>
where <MY_DEVICE_NAME> is the name of the endpointWithin EDR appliance, the number of events to send in each batch can be adjusted on the SEPM Policy on Settings> Global. Expect that an average client sends about 2 events per minute. Less than that (fewer than 10 events per 5 minutes) can back up the clients. More than that (greater than 15 events per 5 minutes) increases the load on your server during peak performance. Ensure that your system isn't already fully loaded if you increase the batch size significantly.
