Microsoft Defender Security Center (ATP) - Alerts

Hi All,

 

Is there a way for us to get alerted from MS Security Center (ATP) if a device (Server) has not been seen online for more than 24hrs?

 

I have intentionally onboarded a server to ATP and then took away its ability to communicate outside to the internet. Can see ATP reporting server last seen more than 24 hrs ago if I drill down into the device summary. Health state still showing active.

 

Wondering how often Defender for Endpoint reassess the devices? Also if above is possible.

 

Kind regards,
Mo

    The device won't show as Inactive until it has been offline for the last 7 days but it should show as Misconfigured due to No Sensor Data or Impaired Communications.

    You can create Custom Detection Rules based on advanced hunting queries to generate alerts.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/security/mtp/custom-detections-overview?view=o365-worldwide

    The DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessment schema table has a column named ConfigurationId where you can check for ImpairedCommunications and Sensor Enabled amongst other values.

    Take a look at this sample query for more info:
