File System Discovery Task Wizard

File System Discovery Task Wizard - Scheduler

Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP | Version 8.5.x

Use the Scheduler page of the file system discovery task wizard to enable and configure task scheduling.

Mark Enabled to enable the scheduler for the current task.

Clear the check box to gain manual control over the task. When the scheduler is disabled, start and stop tasks using the scan controls on the toolbar.

Under Run scan, select how often you want to run the scan process: Once, Daily, Weekly, or Continuously.

Continuously means that the crawler starts again after every completed scan. (You can set a wait interval between scans.)

For Daily or Weekly scans, specify the Hours to perform the scan (for example, daily at 2 a.m.). As a best practice, run discovery scans after peak business hours.

Select more than one time period to indicate when the scan should continue if it is unable to complete during the first slot. Scans are not run more than once a day, even when multiple time slots are selected.

If Once or Continuously is selected, optionally mark But not before to run the scan as soon as possible, but not before a designated time or date. After marking the check box, select a date from the drop-down box and a time from the spinner.

If Continuously is selected, select the number of minutes to Wait...between consecutive scans. (Each scan starts from the beginning.)

Click Next, then continue with File System Discovery Task Wizard - Policies.
