Question:
Can the appliance throttle or step collection to avoid environmental impact?
Answer:
There is not a feature that allows the appliance to identify over-utilized systems and modify its queries to avoid further over utilization. It will be up to the deployment and on-site team to monitor systems as the assessment is running/initialized.
If this a concern of the team, please start the initial scan small and monitor the network and server impact as the inventory and performance collection processes are both performed.
