Which scenario indicates that the Tanium Client is not functioning properly?

The scenario where the endpoint shows no data collection activity is a clear indicator that the Tanium Client is not functioning properly. The Tanium Client is responsible for collecting data from the endpoint for transmission to the Tanium Server. If there is no data collection activity occurring, it means that the Tanium Client is either disabled, not installed correctly, or experiencing some form of malfunction that prevents it from performing its core function.

In contrast, successfully reporting updates from the Tanium Server does not directly reflect the functionality of the Tanium Client on endpoints. Data analysis showing consistent trends indicates that the system is collecting and reporting data effectively. Similarly, alerts for connection stability from the Tanium Console suggest that the system is operational and able to communicate effectively, even if it might still be dealing with other issues. Thus, the absence of data collection activity is the most definitive sign of a malfunctioning Tanium Client.
