Evidence Acquisition Completed

The Evidence Acquisition Completed trigger starts an automation when an evidence acquisition finishes successfully on an asset. In the trigger list, it appears as Acquisition Completed.

Use it to act on collected evidence, for example to notify the team with the finding counts, or to isolate the asset when DRONE reports findings.

  • Finding counts are best-effort. A value of 0 can also mean that the counts could not be read, so it does not definitively prove that there are no findings.
  • Acquisitions created by an automation’s Start Evidence Acquisition action only start this trigger if Trigger Other Automations is enabled on that action.
