Additional Information

  • If reaching out to support please provide Sensor logs from impacted devices
  • Double-quotes are not required around values, but can be used
    Example
    Both sensorStates:"UNSUPPORTED_OS" and sensorStates:UNSUPPORTED_OS work for searching
  • Multiple values can be searched simultaneously
    Either of the below searches work to show any/all devices with one of the Sensor States where a reboot should be the first remediation step attempted.
    
    sensorStates:(DRIVER_INIT_REBOOT_REQUIRED OR DRIVER_LOAD_PENDING OR DRIVER_INIT_ERROR)
    
    OR
