Configure Polite Scan After Installation

You must configure polite scan to specify the priorities for the signature scan and the asset management agent. You can do this either during installation or after installation. Based on the priority set, the agent can run at any priority level.

Note: Polite scan can be configured only on UNIX/Linux agents.

To configure polite scan after installation

  1. Execute the following command:
    caf stop
    

    The caf process stops.

  2. Set the priority level of the agent using the following command:
    ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps /itrm/uam/prio_value -pn Client -v Value
    

    The value can range between -20 and 19:

    -20

    Indicates that the agent will run with high priority.

    19

    Indicates that the agent will run with low priority.

    0

    Indicates that the agent will run with default or normal priority.

  3. Start the caf process using the following command:
    caf start
    

    The agent runs with the configured priority.
