Manage throttling

Prev Next

You can determine if throttling is initiated for any endpoint in your setup and you can take action to manage the feature.

On the Solidcore: Health Monitoring dashboard, check the Number of Systems where Throttling Initiated in Last 7 days monitor to take notice of the systems that might require immediate action.

  1. Determine if throttling is initiated and identify the affected endpoints.

    Event

    Description

    Data Throttled

    Generated for an endpoint when event or policy discovery request throttling is initiated. After throttling resets, this event is generated daily until the cache is empty.

    Data Dropped

    Generated in 2 scenarios for an endpoint.

    • When the cache is full and the oldest data is dropped from the event or request cache.

    • When throttling of inventory updates is initiated for the endpoint.

  2. Review the throttling status for each affected endpoint.

  3. Process data generated for affected endpoints and create relevant rules. You must process data quickly to make sure that data isn't dropped.
