After you enable malware detection, quarantine, and file cleaning on your host endpoints, you can enable Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) notification alerts. This allows local users to receive a notification alert on the host endpoint when a specific malware protection activity occurs.
Some notification alerts are configurable in the Web UI or the API. See Managing Malware Protection Notification Alerts for more information. See the Endpoint Security (HX) REST API Guide for information on using the API to enable and disable the malware protection notification alerts.
Important
Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) xAgent version 26 and later supports Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) notification alerts on the Windows endpoints only. They are not supported for host endpoints running Windows XP, Vista, or Server 2003.
If malware protection is disabled, including malware detection (Signature and Heuristic Detections) and quarantine, notification alerts will not appear on the host endpoint.
This section covers the types of Trellix Endpoint Security (HX) notification alerts and how to handle notification alerts on the endpoint.
