How to configure memory usage for the CYRISMA Agent during on-prem or local data scans when it exceeds the limits allowed in your client’s environment.
Note: Memory adjustments apply only to on-prem or local data scanning.
Steps
- Log in to the instance.
- In the top menu, select Admin > Scan Agents.
- In the Scan Status section, click the pencil/update icon.
- The agent configuration window will open.
- Select Memory Threshold. The default value is 40 percent. Adjust this to a lower percentage if needed.
- For example, if a server has 10 GB of total memory and the threshold is set to 40 percent, the CYRISMA agent will use up to 4 GB during a local scan.
- Click Submit to save the changes.
- Restarting the CYRISMA agent can help ensure the new settings take effect.
