ACC’s timestamps (for example, <em>Host data last collected</em>) are operational and do not update the CI’s Most Recent Discovery field.</span></li><li style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 8pt;">ACC uses REST-based agent ingestion, not Discovery pipelines, so it updates ACC operational timestamps (for example, last collected/heartbeat) instead. This separation is by design and expected behaviour—an actively reporting ACC CI can still have an unchanged <code>last_discovered</code>.</span></li></ul> </div> <span id="ns-kb-css-end-div-identifier" style="display: none; pointer-events: none;"></span></div></section></div></article></div>
