Configure and Monitor Forensic Events PCR-Based Network Anomaly Detection Network Anomaly Latency

Last updated: Jun 09, 2025

Network Anomaly Latency

Network Anomaly scores reported in the security dashboard have 5-minute delays. For instance, the score of a workload for the hour 10:00 a.m-10:59 a.m is based on Network Anomaly events happen from 9:55 a.m to 10:54 a.m.
