Windows Defender ATP reporting cadence and battery performance

Brass Contributor

What guidance do you have relating to reporting cadence from client to WDATP portal with respect to battery life/impact? We have found that with some solutions there is a significant impact on battery life as you increase the reporting cadence. It would be good to have some metrics to enable us to determine the optimum for our organisation.

most endpoints send around 2MB per day - max is 5MB. Traffic is distributed to be sent as close a possible to time of recording, depending on state of the endpoint and the available bandwidth. E.g. If user is doing a CPU intensive operation or the device is running on low battery communications will slow. So take network band, power settings, user actions, etc under consideration for sending data
