Active Notifcation for non-rebooted clients possible?

Hello together, 

we have a requirement in the company that our employees clients have to reboot regularly for updates, etc.

Is there a way to be actively notified by Sophos (Endpoint) if, for example, a client has not been rebooted for more than a week?

We use Sophos Central with several modules, for our clients Sophos Endpoint Protection (MDR).

Thanks in advance. 

Best regards, 

Philipp

  • You could maybe schedule a datalake query that considers the start time of a critical process, e.g. Services.exe for windows.  If the start time of such a process is more than x hours/days old, you could assume it hasn't restarted since that time.

    Select windows_processes.meta_hostname,
    time,
    DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(time), '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%SZ') AS date_time
    FROM
    xdr_data AS windows_processes
    WHERE
    windows_processes.query_name = 'running_processes_windows_sophos'
    and
    name='services.exe' and time < to_unixtime(current_date) - (60*60*24*7) --1 week

    Something to consider.  You can't run scheduled queries for live queries so it would need to be something from the datalake I guess.  I might have the time filter wrong but you get the idea. Slight smile

  • I'm not sure why but I thought you could email the results of the scheduled queries. I can't see an option to do it.  I suppose you can at least use data lake data to get the information about the clients without endpoint queries but maybe you have to query the APIs from a script to be able to send such information. Sorry I've not done that.
