Scanning Server

[mwrobo09]

Just wondering if this is a possibility to make the scan more efficient

We users that move around and to cut down on WAN traffic when they are at another site, it would be nice if when a pc is being scanned and there was a local scan server in the same subnet it would use that server instead of it's home server.

Something like ping the device, if the IP is in a subnet that is designated on a scan server it would use the local scan server on site, if none of the servers were designated

When you hit the Rescan button, the client machine is rescanned by whichever scanning server scanned it previously. There is no way to change this behavior.

Is there a way to set this up in the scanning server options that I am missing?

I do have the enterprise license and multi scanning servers in my setup.

If I am at one of my other sites and I pull my computer and ask it to rescan, it will always rescan it from the scan server it was originally found on instead of the local scan server in the site where the PC is at that time.

I tested this by finding my computer on the web interface and then clicked the rescan option in the Asset Options. I then pulled up the scanning queue for the orignal scan server and watched it get added to the queue for the original scan server designated in the scan server field.

Just trying to see if there is any way to make scanning more efficient.

Thanks

Multi scanning server setups are supported by the Enterprise and Support Company licenses. Each scanning server can be configured separately under Configuration/Scanning Setup/Scanning Methods.
