# UpdateDetector
<a name="API_UpdateDetector"></a>

Updates the GuardDuty detector specified by the detector ID.

Specifying both EKS Runtime Monitoring (`EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING`) and Runtime Monitoring (`RUNTIME_MONITORING`) will cause an error. You can add only one of these two features because Runtime Monitoring already includes the threat detection for Amazon EKS resources. For more information, see [Runtime Monitoring](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/runtime-monitoring.html).

There might be regional differences because some data sources might not be available in all the AWS Regions where GuardDuty is presently supported. For more information, see [Regions and endpoints](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/guardduty_regions.html).
