Scan Performance
Viewing and changing parallel scans
Security for Jira by default runs two scans in parallel per node. This number can be configured in the UI or via the REST API.
Changing parallel scans via the UI
To change number of scans in parallel per node, visit the Soteri Settings page. You can see a dropdown where you can choose the number of parallel scans per node.

Troubleshooting the number of available processors
In certain situations, the number of processors detected by Security for Jira might not match the number of processors actually available to the server. If you are running in a Docker deployment and believe you should have more processing power available, you should update your JVM flags as discussed in https://www.databasesandlife.com/java-docker-aws-ecs-multicore/
Changing parallel scans via the REST API
For information on REST API usage, see REST API For Scripting and Automation | Changing-Settings
This call returns a positive integer which is the configured number of parallel scans.
To maximize scanning performance, you can specify the value
0
to use all available CPUs.
