Overview
During the times when agents are scanning, multiple lnsscorollary.exe processes use up most of the CPU.
Environment
LanGuard 2012 (20120717)
Root Cause
When the agents finish their scans, the GFI LanGuard attendant service retrieves the scan results files from the agent. The lnsscorollary process is used to process the resulting XML files and send them to the database. If all the agents are scheduled to start and finish their scans around the same time, LanGuard has to process all the resulting files to the database. Consequently, it has to launch more instances of the lnsscorollary.exe process.
Resolution
This system limitation has been addressed in LanGuard 2012 SR1.
