What is a recommended best practice for viewing results from offline endpoints in Tanium?

Utilizing cached results is the recommended best practice for viewing results from offline endpoints in Tanium because cached results allow you to access the latest available data collected from those endpoints. When endpoints go offline, they do not have real-time visibility, but Tanium maintains a cache of the last reported data. This way, even if the endpoints are not currently connected, you can still work with the most recent data that was available before they went offline. This practice is particularly useful for maintaining efficiency in environments where waiting for endpoints to come back online may not be feasible, enabling users to make informed decisions based on the last known state of those devices.

Other methods, such as refreshing data or running live queries, would not provide any value when dealing with offline endpoints since they require real-time connections to return current data. Additionally, filtering results from previous queries may provide some context but would not give the complete picture compared to leveraging the cached data which represents the most accurate snapshot of the endpoints' statuses.
