Multiple discovery schedules active at a time

I see multiple discovery schedules active (running in parallel) in my instance. I would like to know if there will be any issue in this case and is anything going wrong with my discovery. Any suggestions or help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

For better performance you should distribute the discovery schedules over the maintenance period during which you are running the discovery requests.



This will ensure that there is no performance impact on the MID Server.

Thank you Adil for your reply. But I am seeing two same schedules running at a time. For example if schedule A is completed schedule B will start and after schedule B completes again I see schedule A being triggered. So at a time I see 6-7 same discovery schedules running in parallel.


It depends on the performance of the MID. The MID would be duly capable of discovering 300-500 devices in an hours time and maybe more with parallel scans if it is a Dual Core CPU approx 2 GHz with approx 4 GB RAM.
