Endpoint Client - Laptop Resource Impact

Dan Spooner

Hello All,

 

I have recently deployed Endpoint to several laptops and a couple are suffering from severe slowdown, high mem usage and even higher disk usage. I plan to upgrade the laptops, new SSD should do it, but I have  a few questions:

 

Which of the standard "Threat Protection" base policy configurable settings are likely to cause most resource usage:

 

  • Live Protection
  • Real Time Scanning 
  • Real Time Scanning Remote Files
  • Deep Learning
  • Others?

 

It is also worth noting that I have a Data Loss Prevention Policy also running which could be contributing.

 

I would like to experiment changing the settings to see if this can alleviate these symptoms, if anyone has any experience it would be appreciated.

    Hello Dan Spooner,

    high mem usage and even higher disk usage
    I'd think that the measurement units are incommensurable - unless you are talking about disk space, so I'm not sure what even higher is.

    high mem
    this is Central Endpoint, isn't it? In absolute numbers SAVService.exe normally uses 250-300MB, swi_service (web protection) coming in second with around 50MB, the rest much less. In total not more than 400MB or so. You can't significantly reduce SAVService's usage by disabling this or that (apart from that disabling Real-Time isn't a good idea).
    higher disk usage
    you mean I/O rate, or? Which process is it? On fairly recent and decent hardware there shouldn't be such issues under normal operation with the recommended settings. Data Loss Prevention is an "add-on" to normal scanning, it doesn't have activity on it's own.
