When a new endpoint registers to Apex Central, it goes through the
filtered policies in the list in descending order. Apex Central assigns the new
endpoint to a filtered policy when the following conditions are both satisfied:
-
The new endpoint matches the target criteria in the policy
-
The policy creator has the permission to manage the new endpoint
The same action applies to an endpoint already assigned to a
policy, but the policy creator later deletes the policy.
 |
NoteFor endpoints just registered to Apex Central and for those just
released from deleted policies, there is a three-minute grace period during which
no
endpoint allocation occurs. These endpoints are temporarily without policies during
this
period.
|
If an endpoint does not meet the target criteria in any filtered policies, the endpoint
does not
associate with any policies. Apex Central allocates these endpoints again when the following actions
occur:
-
Create a new filtered policy
-
Edit a filtered policy
-
Reorder the filtered policies
-
Daily endpoint allocation scheduleApex Central uses a daily endpoint allocation schedule to ensure that endpoints are assigned to the correct policies. This action occurs once at 3:15 pm every day. When endpoint properties change, such as the operating system or IP address, these endpoints require the daily schedule to re-assign them to the correct policies.
Note
-
If the endpoints are offline during the daily endpoint allocation schedule, the policy status for these endpoints will remain pending until they go online.
-
If the Apex One domain of the endpoint is changed, Apex Central deploys the updated the policy after 10 minutes.
-
When the above actions occur, Apex Central allocate endpoints based on the following conditions:
