Does anyone know what the different settings in the running config mean and how to read those when Network Discovery in Inventory 6.5.0 is used/enabled?

We enabled Network Discovery in Inventory 6.5.0 and the running configuration now shows:

 

<Module typeName="NetworkDiscoveryModule">

   <Setter propertyName="MaxDegreeOfConcurrency">5</Setter>

   <Setter propertyName="Interval">"1.00:00:00"</Setter>

   <Setter propertyName="RateLimiterMaxTotalPackets">700</Setter>

   <Setter propertyName="RateLimiterMaxTotalBytes">1048576</Setter>

   <Setter propertyName="RateLimiterWindow">"00:00:30"</Setter>

   <Setter propertyName="RateLimiterVariance">0.02</Setter>

   <Setter propertyName="IsEnabled">true</Setter>

  </Module>

 

Does anyone know how the read the different values? Especially the Interval value I would like to understand: How often does the network discovery run with this default value set?

 

Thanks for your help,

Gert-Jan.

    Hi Gert-Jan,

     

    I cannot really help you. But in Snow Inventory Server 6 User Guide you can find some examples.

    https://community.flexera.com/s/article/UserGuideSnowInventoryServer6

     

    Unfortuneately it does not describe all parameters.

    I only can tell you it means

    • NetworkDiscovery is activated (<Setter propertyName="IsEnabled">true</Setter>)
    • NetworkDiscovery runs once per day <Setter propertyName="Interval">"1.00:00:00"</Setter>

     

    You cannot define a time when it starts. I noticed in my environment, after Inventory Server restart it will start every module step by step. It then keeps that time, for the next days, until you restart Inventory Server again.

      Hi Carola,

       

      thanks for the quick reply. I started with checking the User Guide as well and also only noticed the examples that's why I posted it on the community ;)

       

      But good to know it runs once a day with this setting and I can more or less force a starting time by restarting the IV service at a particular time.

       

      regards,

      Gert-Jan.

    Hi Gert

     

    I think that the interval 1:00:00:00 is set to be a 24 hour interval

      Hi Adam.

       

      thanks for the quick reply too. And luckily you provide the same answers on the Interval value as Carola did ;)

       

      regards,

      Gert-Jan.

    I think that the following is true:

    • Interval: Adam is correct. I think it sets the restart of the AD scan to 1 day after completion of the previous batch
    • RateLimiter stuff as far as I understand limit the rate of Snowpack files that will be processed by the Inventory Server (in your case, 700/30sec or 1MB/30sec)
    • The rest is self explanatory

     

    @David Hobbs​ do you confirm?
