How can one retrieve the information necessary for generating a Process Timeline?

Retrieving the information necessary for generating a Process Timeline requires accessing specific data linked to a process. Utilizing the EAM (Endpoint Activity Monitor) is crucial because it allows you to gather detailed information about a process's execution based on the process ID and the associated AID (Agent ID) or hostname. This gives insight into the activities, events, and execution details related to that process which are essential for constructing a comprehensive Process Timeline.

The Process Timeline is a component of incident response and analysis that portrays the sequence of events related to individual processes on a system. Accessing EAM provides the rich data set needed for such an analysis, including timestamps, user context, and system events linked to the targeted process.

While alternative methods like command line interfaces might provide some information, they generally do not have the level of detail and correlation capabilities regarding endpoint activity that EAM possesses. Checking system logs may offer historical data, but these logs can be incomplete or lack context, and simply contacting the IT support team would not suffice as they may not have direct access to the necessary data without using the appropriate tools or interfaces.
