Viewing Task Details

For each Inventory Server, you can view the task statistic that displays the number of slots available for running tasks (by default, each server has the maximum number of 3 slots available) and the progress status of each task.

NOTE: You can configure Inventory Server performance settings in the Services > Inventory Servers section. For details, see Tuning Inventory Server performance.
