Then Tanium needed tuning. There's no reason any of it's processing should have taken 1 core for more than 2 minutes...and that's the highest load task. Mostly it sits in the background, capped at 5% cpu.
But there's only so much you can do with a 7th gen dual core mobile i7
Now...McAfee? a)Was a pig, but b)did we really need to scan the entire disk every Friday afternoon?
- imwillofficial 5y agoNo tuning of Tanium will make it not garbage.
- Damogran6 5y agoI shouldn't take that personally, but I manage Tanium and my experience doesn't mirror yours. That said, I know they have some HUGE deployments in the Military and my piddly little 25000 client install may not be comparable.
- imwillofficial 5y agoI used to help Tanium manage their stuff for the US Navy on NMCI. I stand by my statement. But it’s not personal at all. Neither you nor I made Tanium, and I’m sure your deployment is the gold standard of Tanium deployments that would change my mind.
- Damogran6 5y agoNoooo, Tanium gets blamed here for everything, all the time. We call it “Tanium got my dog pregnant” 99% of the time it’s not Tanium, but 1% of the time is very much is.
- imwillofficial 5y agoOh God I totally know how you feel. Anything that touches everything like that gets blamed a lot. On the upside, you learn every part of the stack as you have to defend yourself at each and every turn. But be honest, it was Tanium that got my dog knocked up, wasn’t it?! Just admit it!
