@sushant_narula,
It's a pragmatic conversation really, as moving the scan time would ultimately in theory decrease your CPU usage in business hours, but will move it to another time.
The questions I have are >
The increase in CPU, has this been observed by monitoring or end user for example - is there a degradation in service.
Has it been considered if you move the scan time into the early morning hours, this could impact any inventory from any end user devices with the agent installed
As @durgeshsingh has mentioned is anything else running at a similar time?
Is the agent set to low/high priority in the settings?
Has any thought been given to restrict the file paths the agent scans, so decreasing scan time for example?
For me in my scenario, I rarely hear noise about the agent consuming CPU resource on servers, however the greater impact for my environment is end user compute, whether that is virtualised or physical.
In terms of physical for example, the Flexera agent consumes circa 10% of CPU resource when inventorying a device, which is not necessarily particularly high. But when a bunch of other agents are consuming similar, we quickly reach into the 90%'s of CPU resource consumed by agents - so it's something I need to consider in the future.
