Limit malformed or unexpected data issues

Prev Next

You can set a limit for the number of unique issues reported for an Enterprise Search that are related to malformed or unexpected data on host endpoints encountered during the search. Such search issues are common, but may mean that the host could not be fully searched for the item types in which the problems were encountered.

The default is 10 unique issues. When this limit is reached, the Endpoint Security (HX) stops recording issues for the search, even though the Enterprise Search continues.

You can review and modify this limit using the CLI.

Prerequisites
  • Admin access

Review the issue limit

To review the issue limit:
  1. Enable CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Review the issue limit:

    hostname (config) # show hx server search

    The output from this command might look like this:

    Search issues item limit: 20

Change the issue limit

To change the issue limit:
  1. Enable CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Change the issue limit:

    hostname (config) # hx server search issues items-limit <number>

    where <number> is the number of unique search issues reported for an Enterprise Search. Valid values range from 0 through 100 issues. Specifying 0 requests that search issues related to malformed or unexpected data on host endpoints should not be reported for Enterprise Searches.

  3. Save your settings.

    hostname (config) # write mem
