limit the number of parallel scans ?

[aderumier]

Hi,

is it possible to limit the number of parallel scans ?

I have currently 3000 servers in config.toml, and I'm getting max open file limit on vuls server,
and I would like also to limit the load on targets at the same time.

Will this link help you?

hi, yes I could setup more open files limits. but having 3000 vms doing a fast-root scan at the same time (apt-update, apt changelog,...), can dp a huge load too.

apt-chagelog is not used anymore in the latest version of vuls.
I recommend update vuls to the latest version.

fast scan mode is more lightweight than fast-root scan mode because fast scan mode does not issue metadata update commands such as apt-get update or repoquery. But fast scan mode can not show the candidate version of the upgradable pacakges.
