What may cause slower response times in Tanium queries?

Slower response times in Tanium queries can occur due to the utilization of multiple data points. When a query requests information from various sources or sensors at the same time, the volume of data being processed increases. This larger data set can take more time to collect and analyze, thereby resulting in slower response times.

As requests for data grow in complexity with multiple data points, Tanium needs to aggregate and process a wider array of information, which can put more strain on the system. This is particularly true if those data points vary across endpoints, leading to longer times for the queries to execute fully and return results.

Other options, such as implementing a single sensor and using a direct network connection, can either reduce complexity or enhance speed in some scenarios. Minimizing the number of queries generally aims to streamline processes and lower load, which is contrary to the nature of having multiple data points, thereby it would likely improve responsiveness rather than slow it down.
