Advanced Settings

Note:

Advanced settings can either apply for all connections for this adapter, or you can set different advanced settings and/or different scheduling for a specific connection, refer to ​Advanced Configuration for Adapters

  1. Maximum number of retries for each request (required, default: 5) - Requests sent to Trellix may return errors from the Trellix side. This is the maximum number of retries per request sent to the server (as opposed to the total amount of retries).
  2. Time to wait before retrying requests - Time (in seconds) to wait after an unsuccessful (for any reason) request before retrying.


Note:

Every Client ID has a request cap on the MVision API. This adapter is optimized to deliver all the devices using the smallest number of requests possible.
If fetches fail periodically and intermittently (success, then failure, then success, then failure, …), change the fetch schedule.
