Implement a scan timeout threshold

Set the execution time of a single scan by implementing Transaction Quota Rules. Setting of a quota rule prevents your instance from running a long scan.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Definition > Transaction Quota Rules.
2. To set a definite execution time, select Scan timeout.
3. Enter the definite execution time in the Maximum Duration (seconds) field and select Update.
   Note:

   The minimum allowed timeout threshold is 5 seconds. If you set the timeout to anything less than 5 seconds, the system still considers it to be 5 seconds. By default, it has been set to 10,800 seconds.
   The scan fails if the execution time exceeds the set timeout. For more information on the type of scan you want to run, see Configuring Instance Scan .
