We recommend for every 3000 devices to spin up a dedicated Scanner & Scraper. This way you can devide the load of collecting data from the Network over multiple physical instances. Per worker it's also possible to enable and disable certain features. This way we can:

• Load Discovery Jobs per security domain with Worker Tags.
• Disable the Profiler functionality for certain workers, and create a dedicated profiler. Read more
• Setup a special Worker for on-demand requests from the Web-GUI. This way when the Queue is full or the Workers are busy and you try to test or build a template or Test and SNMP connection that the application flow continues smoothly.

With an Enterprise license it's possible to spin up Multiple Scanner & Scrapers

On our Gitlab page you can find the latest Example configurations for the workers:

Or you copy the following

1. Replace slurpit-warehouse-ip-or-fqdn for the IP toward the Warehouse Server, and make sure the gRPC port is opened on the Warehouse server (50051). It's also possible to change the ports on both the worker and the warehouse.
2. Save this as docker-compose.yml
3. place it on a seperate server and run it by typing: docker compose up --build -d
