Slow CID Update

jonahmt21

SEC V4

Ive noticed that if you have multiple CID's the update of these CID's takes a very long time.

We have 28 CIDs or distribution points, and during update, the maximum transfer rate is only about 5MBPs shared by 28 CID's

is there a way to speed this up? setting or registry key?

thanks

Jonah

    Hi Jonah

    By default, an update manager will check for threat detection data updates every 10 minutes. You can change this update interval. The minimum is 5 minutes. The maximum is 1440 minutes (24 hours). Sophos recommends an update interval of 10 minutes for threat detection data, so that you receive protection from new threats promptly after the detection data is published by Sophos.

    By default, an update manager will check for software updates every 60 minutes. You can change this update interval. The minimum is 10 minutes. The maximum is 1440 minutes (24 hours).

    For software updates, you can either specify an update interval that is used every hour of every day, or you can create more sophisticated schedules, in which each day can be specified independently and each day can be divided into periods with different update intervals.

    Note: You can create a different schedule for each day of the week. Only a single schedule can be associated with a day of the week.

    1. If you are in the Endpoints view, click the Update managers button on the toolbar to display the Update managers view.
    2. In the list of update managers, select the update manager for which you want to create an update schedule. Right-click and click View/Edit configuration.
    3. In the Configure update manager dialog box, on the Schedule tab, enter the interval between threat detection data updates.
    4. Enter the interval between software updates.
      • If you want to specify an update interval that is used every hour of every day, select the Check for updates every n minutes option and enter the interval in minutes.

    Alternatively due to the number of CIDs being used, I would recommend using Child SUMs as central distribution points.

    For further information on Child SUMs please call or email Sophos Technical Support
