Configuring Scan Priority
Scans are run using a priority ranking from 0 to 10, where 0 is the lowest priority and 10 is the highest. Before starting a scan, the Global Service determines if there is a higher-priority scan that needs to be started. If there is, the lower-priority scan will remain in the queue. Additionally, a lower-priority scan that is running will be paused for a higher-priority scan if no other sensor is available.
If Advanced Scan Prioritization is enabled, the Global Service may move scans to other sensors, depending on scan priority and other settings. For more information about Advanced Scan Prioritization, see Understanding Advanced Scan Prioritization.
Note: Applications are configured with a default priority level in the application settings. For more information, see Understanding the Application Settings View.
Changing the Priority
To select a priority other than the default setting for the scan:
-
Select a priority from 0 to 10 in the Priority list.
Note: If you set a priority that differs from the Application Settings, the lower of the two settings will be used.
Tip: You cannot disable scan priority. However, you can set all applications and scans to the same priority to accomplish something similar.
