+    > [!CAUTION]
   > Running Defender for Endpoint on Linux side by side with other `fanotify`-based security solutions isn't supported. It can lead to unpredictable results, including hanging the operating system. If there are any other applications on the system that use `fanotify` in blocking mode, applications are listed in the `conflicting_applications` field of the `mdatp health` command output. The Linux **FAPolicyD** feature uses `fanotify` in blocking mode, and is therefore unsupported when running Defender for Endpoint in active mode. You can still safely take advantage of Defender for Endpoint on Linux EDR functionality after configuring the antivirus functionality Real Time Protection Enabled to [Passive mode](linux-preferences.md#enforcement-level-for-antivirus-engine).

 Simple queries, such as those that don't use the `project` or `summarize` operator to customize or aggregate results, typically return these common columns.
 
 There are various ways to ensure more complex queries return these columns. For example, if you prefer to aggregate and count by entity under a column such as `DeviceId`, you can still return `Timestamp` and `ReportId` by getting it from the most recent event involving each unique `DeviceId`.

 The sample query below counts the number of unique devices (`DeviceId`) with antivirus detections and uses this count to find only the devices with more than five detections. To return the latest `Timestamp` and the corresponding `ReportId`, it uses the `summarize` operator with the `arg_max` function.
