To keep your Lansweeper scanning queue running smoothly, here are some best practices:

  1. 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.

  2. Distribute Load: Use multiple scanning servers to distribute the load evenly. This helps prevent any single server from becoming a bottleneck.

  3. 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.

  4. Manage Scanning Threads: Increase the number of scanning threads in the Lansweeper configuration to allow more simultaneous scans.

  5. Monitor and Troubleshoot: Regularly check the scanning queue for any stuck assets and adjust performance scanning settings if necessary.

  6. 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.
