Job Serving

This section includes 6 configurations:
Enable Job Logging
When enabled (ON) will write job serving diagnostics to the jobs.t_Log table. OFF indicates no diagnostic information will be written.
Auto Deleted Job Log
When enabled (ON) job serving diagnostic data in the jobs.t_Log table will be automatically deleted once job logging is disabled. Use OFF to keep this data after job serving logging has been disabled.
Target Expand Rate
Determines the total number of IPs (from range and subnet target sets) to add to the queue upon execution of Queue Step 1. This stops the queue becoming flooded when ranges are expanded much more quickly than they can be served.
Max Count Multiple To Queue
Determines the number of jobs to QUEUE for each scan engine. Default is 1.5 - this means for a scan engine with a MAX JOBS limit of 100, we will queue 150 jobs (100 x 1.5) for that server. This is to keep scan engines operating at full capacity.
Min Queued Threshold
When the number of jobs queued for a server is below a certain percentage of its MAX JOBS setting, we queue more jobs for it. This prevents the queue from becoming flooded if the server has multiple long running jobs.
Save Target XML
When enabled (ON) the XML for each target will be saved in the job table. Saving target XMLs results in massive data bloat and will be set to OFF by default.

Scanning

Applies a time limit to each scan job. After the time limit expires, the job will be terminated and any artifacts already discovered will be saved to the database. The job will be assigned a status indicating it was completed after a timeout. The value of 0 indicates that no time limit should be applied to the job. The default value is 60 (mins).
