Agent scan details

Scan type Scan operation Scan run time Scan performance
Benchmark Agent runs scans using Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks. Benchmark scans take a few minutes to complete. While active, benchmark scans typically use about 30% of a 2.5 GHz single-core CPU, and 1 GB of memory.

Note: During highly intensive activities, you may see up to 100% of CPU utilization.

Vulnerability Agent runs scans using Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL) vulnerability definitions. Vulnerability scans take approximately 10 minutes to complete. While active, vulnerability scans typically use about 30% of a 2.5 GHz single-core CPU, and 1 GB of memory.

Note: During highly intensive activities, you may see up to 100% of CPU utilization.
