An analyst observes that several endpoints have not generated new logs for the aggregator. The endpoints appear online, and no direct alerts have been raised. Which step would be the most effective method to restore comprehensive coverage for these endpoints?
Reset all aggregator rules so they accept all inputs from every source again
Use a script that periodically pings each system and collects a timing report
Notify the help desk to wipe and reinstall the operating system on the affected endpoints
Check agent functionality on each system and re-enroll them with the aggregator if missing
Ensuring that the aggregator agent is functioning correctly and that the endpoints are properly enrolled establishes log forwarding. Reverting aggregator rules does not solve agent connectivity issues. Regularly pinging systems verifies availability but does not restore log flow. Reimaging devices is more disruptive and does not address potential agent misconfigurations.
