What happens if an endpoint has a network issue according to Tanium's system?

When an endpoint experiences a network issue, the primary consequence is that it will lose communication with the Tanium Server. This disruption means that the Tanium Client running on the endpoint can no longer send data or receive commands from the server, effectively isolating the endpoint from the Tanium infrastructure until the network issue is resolved.

This disconnection impacts the endpoint's ability to receive updates and participate in Tanium's real-time data collection and management operations. It is important to understand that while the client may attempt to maintain functionality locally, the loss of connection signifies that the endpoint is not integrated into the Tanium environment during the outage. The systems in place do not automatically troubleshoot or resolve network issues, nor do they indefinitely retry connections without taking further action after a period. Additionally, active actions on the endpoint may not stop immediately, but communication for coordinated actions will be hampered during this network outage.
