Purpose
Worker settings
In this section, administrators can configure :
How many parallel tasks a monitoring process will execute :
This setting will determine how many single taks (monitors) Redpeaks is able to execute at the same time
Notive that this setting is tight to the number of microprocessors (cores) of the machine on which Redpeaks has been installed
The allocation (in GB) of the monitoring processes memory :
Monitoring processes' timeout (in minutes)
The possibility to compress or not monitoring results. Notice that compressing results will demand a certain CPU process time
Retention settings
Under this section, administrators are able to :

Telnet settings
When Activate telnet check is active, the connector check will first try to reach the host and port defined in connectors.
This helps clearing out routing and firewall issues quicker.
You can also define the telnet timeout
Note: Agents will inherit from central server telnet configuration when running as non local scheduler
