Enabling Scan Scaling
If the application is configured in a sensor pool that has scan scaling enabled, then the Scan Scaling check box is available on the Details page.
During a scan, script engines replay TruClient macros and run scripts to reveal the Document Object Model (DOM) of the application and events on the page. Scan scaling involves automatically creating multiple pools of these script engines in Kubernetes. In essence, it distributes the work of performing the scan across multiple script engines, thereby reducing the amount of time it takes to conduct the scan.
Scan scaling might be beneficial for applications that generally have long-running scans.
For more information, see Integrating with Kubernetes for Scan Scaling.
If you enable scan scaling, then the scan inherits the scan scaling settings that are configured in the sensor pool. Scan scaling adjusts the number of script engine pools to equal the number of crawl and audit threads in the scan or to the maximum number specified in the sensor pool settings, whichever is lower. For more information, see Creating a DAST Sensor Pool.
