Scan Item Limit

Enter the maximum number of files and folders to obtain from a folder structure at a time during a scan.

Max Number of Scan Threads

Enter the maximum number of threads available for scanning files and folders.  This number should be set to at least the maximum number of jobs running on any single Management Agent.

Max Number of Concurrent Scans

Enter the maximum number of scans that can run in parallel.  If the number of active scan threads is greater than this number, scan threads will process on a rotating basis.  Increasing this number can increase scan performance but will also increase system memory and CPU utilization.
