What is the best practice to keep your scanning queue running smoothly at all times?
To keep your Lansweeper scanning queue running smoothly, here are some best practices:
Optimize Scan Frequency: Adjust the frequency of scans for different targets. Critical assets might need more frequent scans, while less critical ones can be scanned less often.
Distribute Load: Use multiple scanning servers to distribute the load evenly. This helps prevent any single server from becoming a bottleneck.
Adjust Ping Timeout: For IP Range scans, setting the ping timeout to 1 second instead of 2 can significantly reduce scan times, provided your network can handle it.
Manage Scanning Threads: Increase the number of scanning threads in the Lansweeper configuration to allow more simultaneous scans.
Monitor and Troubleshoot: Regularly check the scanning queue for any stuck assets and adjust performance scanning settings if necessary.
Use Asset Radar: Enable Asset Radar to continuously monitor network traffic and automatically identify new or rogue devices.
Implementing these practices can help ensure your Lansweeper scanning queue remains efficient and effective.
