> Starting with version `101.2408.0000`, Microsoft defender for Endpoint for Linux no longer supports the Auditd event provider. We're transitioning completely to the more efficient eBPF technology. This change allows for better performance, reduced resource consumption, and overall improved stability. eBPF support has been available since August 2023 and is fully integrated into all updates of Defender for Endpoint on Linux (version `101.23082.0006` and later). We strongly encourage you to adopt the eBPF build, as it provides significant enhancements over Auditd.

- Starting this version, Defender for Endpoint on Linux no longer supports `AuditD` as a supplementary event provider. For improved stability and performance, we have completely transitioned to eBPF. If you disable eBPF, or in the event eBPF is not supported on any specific kernel, Defender for Endpoint on Linux automatically switches back to Netlink as a fallback supplementary event provider. Netlink provides reduced functionality and tracks only process-related events. In this case, all process operations continue to flow seamlessly, but you could miss specific file and socket-related events that eBPF would otherwise capture. For more details, see [Use eBPF-based sensor for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux](linux-support-ebpf.md). If you have any concerns or need assistance during this transition, contact support.
