Discovery Agent Options

To configure discovery agent options, the following information is required:

Default Agent Options

Sets the following default agent options:

Minimum Database update frequency (in seconds)

Specifies the frequency of updates from discovery agent scan processing to discovery server.

Note: The value 0 indicates that updates must be sent immediately as they are recognized, but this generates network traffic.

Maximum Classification Engines

Controls the number of instances of a classification engine scan running on an agent system at any given time.

Maximum Ping Sweep Engines

Controls the number of instances of a ping sweep engine scan running on an agent system at any given time.

Maximum Router Probe Engines

Controls the number of instances of a router probe engine scan running on an agent system at any given time.

Use Default Settings

Sets the default agent options defined for the agent in the row. If the agent machine has different settings than other machines, clear the check box and manually set the values in the row as required.

Note: A new discovery agent will adapt the default settings once it registers with the connected discovery server.

Remove Agent

Removes the discovery agent row from the discovery server's agent list.

Note: Under normal conditions, when a discovery agent is uninstalled, it notifies the discovery server and its corresponding row in the table is automatically removed. In case the discovery agent is uninstalled and the network connectivity with the discovery server is interrupted, you must select the Remove Agent check box to remove the agent.
