Question:
What impact does the RN150 have to the environment?
Answer:
As every environment is different. We do not have the ability to predict if inventory or performance collection could significantly impact what could be an already over utilized server or network segment. The inventory process on Windows devices can spike server CPU utilization while it runs the WMI product queries. These commands are only run when the device is inventoried or if a Credential Validation is run against it. If network stability is at risk or of a major concern, please start small in the scope of scanning. This can be done by using a single subnet section for inventory and having the onsite team monitor the increase in network or server load during that time. Those same devices could then be licensed and monitored for 2-3 days to examine load during performance collection.
