Hi, I added Elastic Defend integration to an active policy and I noticed messages like the one below on the host's logs.

```auto
[elastic_agent.endpoint_security][warning] MemoryScan.cpp:677 Unexpected error occurred during diagnostic memory scan: Success

```

I wonder what that means? Is it an error or success?

Hi @aqiank . That's a benign (and confusing!) message, you can ignore it. It started happening in 8.10.0 and was removed in 8.10.3.
