7. Known Issues


7.1 Limitation When Configuring Scan Time Machine for Manual and Scheduled Scan

Problem: After enabling the Scan Time Machine option for Manual Scan and Scheduled Scan, Apex One (Mac) cannot perform any actions (clean, quarantine, or delete) on detected malware threats due to a permission limitation in Mac OS. Configured scan actions display as unsuccessful in the product logs.

7.2 Endpoint Sensor Processing Limitation

Problem: Endpoint Sensor processing of files on Mac endpoints is case insensitive. Historical investigation results on the Apex Central console include all entries for a file name with different capitalization.

7.3 File Name Changes in Historical Investigation

Problem: When performing a historical investigation on Apex One (Mac) endpoints, the system replaces a slash (/) with a colon (:) in file names, preventing users from searching for file names that contain slashes in investigation results.

Workaround: To resolve this issue, use a colon (:) to search for files.
