Sensor health status

For standalone deployments of Container Security Sensor v1.10 and later, we’ll show the container health status in ‘docker ps’. For the first 24 hours from deployment, the health status will be “health: starting” as we monitor the health of the sensor. After 24 hours, the status will change from “health: starting” to “healthy”. Please note that as long as the sensor STATUS in ‘docker ps’ is “Up” the sensor is running successfully.

Here’s an example of sensor health status for first 24 hours of new sensor deployment:
