Tools installation settings

Setting Default value Description
Distribute Over Time 0 seconds

The time over which to randomize distribution of the endpoint tools that each endpoint requires, based on the modules that are in use with that endpoint. Randomizing this distribution over a period of time helps balance resource use.

If a value greater than zero is configured for this setting, you can override the setting to immediately install a specific tool by using the Endpoint Configuration - Reinstall Tool [Windows] or Endpoint Configuration - Reinstall Tool [Non-Windows] package: see Troubleshooting Endpoint Configuration.
