Summary

When Argent AT products are first installed, Argent AT Supervising Engines are configured to recycle in different time by default

The product’s recycling times are 30 minutes apart

This can greatly reduce the resource consumption compared to the case that all Supervising Engines recycle at the same time of midnight

The default recycling times for Argent AT Supervising Engines are listed as follows:

Argent Console	01:00
Argent Enterprise	01:30
Argent for Active Directory	01:30
Argent for Compliance	02:00
Argent for Exchange	02:30
Argent for Hyper-V	03:00
Argent for Oracle	03:30
Argent for SAP	04:00
Argent for Security	04:30
Argent for SharePoint	05:00
Argent for SNMP	05:30
Argent for SQL Server	06:00
Argent for VMware	06:30
Argent for XenServer	07:00
Argent Guardian Ultra	07:30
Argent Sentry Ultra	08:00
Argent Defender	08:30
Argent Predictor Compression Service	09:00
Argent for Java	09:30
Argent for MySQL	10:30
Argent for XenApp	10:00

Technical Background

When Supervising Engine recycles, it needs to read the database, purge obsolete data and initialize internal data structures

It can consume quite some system resource, especially hitting SQL Server hard

Staggered Recycle Times can spread the load across the time line
