How frequently does the PCE receive data updates from a VEN?

The PCE (Policy Compute Engine) receives data updates from a VEN (Virtual Endpoint Node) every 10 minutes. This regular interval allows the PCE to maintain an up-to-date view of the workload and its security posture, ensuring efficient policy enforcement and visibility across the environment.

This 10-minute update cycle strikes a balance between providing timely information without overwhelming the PCE with too frequent data submissions. Given the dynamic nature of workloads and security environments, this frequency is designed to optimize performance while still allowing for prompt responses to changes in the environment.

Understanding this interval is crucial for managing performance and ensuring effective policy management and application security within an Illumio deployment.
