Editing Discovery Scan Settings
Concurrency Setting
The Concurrency field (outlined in blue) defines the maximum number of Buckets that this project can scan simultaneously. The default value is 4.
The "Concurrency" value defines the number of Buckets that can be scanned at the same time. This value is preset at four (4) and can be increased to fifty (50).
Note:
If the concurrency value is set at 4 and the number of Buckets selected are more than four (4), the excess Buckets will be placed in a queue to be added one Bucket at a time as Buckets complete, until all Buckets are processed.
Example:
If the number of Buckets detected is 92, with 10 selected (see example below outlined in blue), the first 4 shares will be processed while the remaining 6 Buckets will be placed in a queue to be processed as a share completes.
The Concurrency tooltip (outlined in blue) states: "The maximum number of File Shares that this project can scan simultaneously. Set to 0 for no limit other than from licensing and hardware."
Reporting Formats
The reports can be saved in any of the following formats (outlined in blue):
- HTML
- CSV
- JSON
- XML
Note: The default reporting formats are:

Data Retention
Data Retention defines the time frame that the data from the discovery scan will be kept. The default time frame is 7-days (outlined in blue).
