What is a "Managed Source" in Tanium Trends?

In Tanium Trends, a "Managed Source" refers to a configuration that is predefined by Tanium and is considered to be read-only. This means that users cannot modify the source or the data produced by it; it is maintained and managed by Tanium itself to ensure consistency and reliability in the metrics and insights derived from the data.

Managed Sources are critical in an enterprise environment because they provide standardized data sets that can be trusted to reflect the state of the system as determined by Tanium's methodology. This allows users to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than getting involved in the complexities of data management or adjustments that could compromise the integrity of the data being analyzed.

In contrast, options that suggest a source can be freely edited, requires user input, or serves merely as an organizational framework would not align with the nature of Managed Sources as they center around stability and reliability rather than user variability or customization.
