With over 1600 entries I haven't found the need for multiple thread, although it is still a desirable feature.
I used the registry entry PerItemCycle to speed up the checks. The default is 250ms, I lowered mine to 20ms and it can go to as low as 10ms. Instant time savings. The other thing to look at is timeouts on failed checks. The default is 5 seconds, most of mine are set for 3 seconds or less. My check cycle now only last about 3 minutes, previously it had been over 5. The web page generation still takes some time, in my case about 5 minutes for 100 pages. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx > Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 8:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [SA-list] Wish List - Multiple threads for servers alive > > > I know that everybody wants this so no need to vote on this, > it's just not going to happen. > > > dirk. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ung Yi > Sent: Thu Oct 23 2:48 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [SA-list] Wish List - Multiple threads for servers alive > > > Hi Dirk, > > another vote for this feature. > > Your product is excellent, but this could move it up a notch > with the bigboys.
