Scan Tasks
How Scanning Works
The agent periodically goes through all IP addresses in the specified ranges and attempts to establish a connection with each address. If a supported ASIC miner is found at the address — it's added to the site's Workers list and starts transmitting metrics.
Scanning runs on a schedule in the background. The scan frequency can be configured in the task settings.
Scan Intervals
| Interval | Description |
|---|---|
| 3 min | Maximum frequency. For small networks (up to a few hundred addresses) |
| 15 min | Standard mode. Balance between discovery speed and load |
| 30 min | For large ranges (thousands of addresses) |
| 1 hour | Minimal load. For stable networks with infrequent changes |
Parallel Scan Threads
The number of parallel threads determines the scanning speed — how many IP addresses are checked simultaneously. More threads means faster scanning, but higher network and agent server load.
The number of threads can be changed in agent settings without restarting — changes take effect immediately.
Task Status
Each scan task can be:
- Enabled — active, the agent scans the specified ranges
- Disabled — turned off, ranges are not scanned. IP ranges are preserved
Individual IP ranges within a task can also be enabled and disabled independently without deletion.
Renaming Ranges
Each IP range can be given a descriptive name — for example, "Rack A", "Subnet 10.0.1.x", or "Building 2". This simplifies navigation when there are many ranges in one task.
