Tanium affect on Orion servers

nerengm

Does anyone out there have Tanium running in your environment?  If so, does it negatively affect the performance of your Orion servers?  Do you chose to exclude Tanium scanning of your Orion program files like you do AntiVirus?  My Orion environment runs very poorly at unpredictable times, despite following all best practices and getting a clean health check from Premier Support.  I'm starting to wonder if Tanium is causing unseen havoc on Orion like it does on my workstation.

Any software that blocks file reads or writes until the software can determine the file is 'safe' can have a direct and significant impact on overall performance of Orion. Specifically the SQL databases and tempDB on the SQL server, as well as the SQLite, SQLCompact databases, MSMQ and RabbitMQ on the Orion servers themselves are particularly susceptible to bottlenecking when software interferes with their normal operation. This is is because these are areas of the product that are constantly being read and written to as new data is gathered.
