I honesty do not remember all I remember is that it runs on Linux hosts and does a directory scan of either /opt or maybe it was /var/www. When I looked at the NVTs in that group they all were looking for older software then what we were using on Centos 6 so I disabled the entire group. Louis

My master has 8vCPUs and 8GB RAM and I am always pushing it to the max. My concurrent NVTs is set to 5 while my concurrent hosts is set to 20. When I say I regularly push it to the max I mean I see loads on the host between 10 and 30 for a few hours at a time. My slaves are setup with similar

Hi Peter You will need to adjust the concurrent NVTs parameter to best suit your client machines, but with the extra CPU on the server, you can scan more targets concurrently, so the whole scan will complete quicker. So, set the "Maximum concurrently executed NVTs per host" to a nice low figure t
