Best Practices: Check-in Period - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>PROBLEM:</strong></p> <p>I am on the <strong>Agent tab > Check in Control page</strong> and I am setting my check-in period. I want to know what I should set it as and what the best practice is.</p> <p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong></p> <p>The <strong>Check-in Control</strong> time dictates how often your agent checks back in to your Kaseya server to inform you that the agent is online. If an agent loses a connection, the agent will check back in based on the check in period. </p> <p>By default, the check in period is set to 30 seconds and we recommend leaving it at this number. Increasing this number can have adversely negative affects.</p> <p>The biggest of these is that you will notice your procedures to take longer to execute.</p> <p>For example, lets say the check-in control changes from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. When you schedule this procedure on the endpoint, instead of the procedure kicking off in 30 seconds, it will instead kick off in 5 minutes</p> <p> <img src="/attachments/token/5rEBjaBrEp72Fodkk3SCQdou4/?name=2-13-2015+10-24-59+AM.jpg" alt="2-13-2015_10-24-59_AM.jpg" width="853" height="321" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> </article> </main>
