Inventory task settings

Setting

Description

Task priority

In this group of settings you can select the task priority:

  • Low— the scan task is executed with a low priority: no more than 10% of processor resource consumption. Execution of the task takes more time, but the application allocates resources for other tasks.
  • Normal (default value) — the scan task is executed with a normal priority: no more than 50% of all processor resources.
  • High — the scan task is executed with a high priority, without limiting the consumption of processor resources. Specify this value to perform the current scan task faster.

Inventory scope settings

Setting

Description

Scan scope name

Field for entering the inventory scope name. This name will be displayed in the table in the Scan settings section.

The entry field must not be blank.

Use this scope

This check box enables or disables the scan of this scope when the task is performed.

If this check box is selected, the application processes this inventory scope while running the task.

If this check box is cleared, the application does not process this inventory scope while running the task. You can later include this scope in task settings by selecting the check box.

The check box is selected by default.

File system, access protocol and path

Entry field for the path to the local directory that you want to include in the inventory scan scope. You can use masks to specify the path.

You can use the * (asterisk) character to create a file or directory name mask.

You can indicate a single * character to represent any set of characters (including an empty set) preceding the / character in the file or directory name. For example, /dir/*/file or /dir/*/*/file.

You can indicate two consecutive * characters to represent any set of characters (including an empty set and the / character) in the file or directory name. For example, /dir/**/file*/ or /dir/file**/.

The ** mask can be used only once in a directory name. For example, /dir/**/**/file is an incorrect mask.

You can use a single ? character to represent any one character in the file or directory name.

The field must not be blank. The / path is specified by default – the application scans all directories of the local file system.

Masks

This list contains name masks of the objects that the application scans while running the task.

By default the list contains the * mask (all objects).

You can add, edit, or delete masks.

Clicking the Delete button removes the selected item from the table.

This button is available if at least one item is selected in the table.
