Schedule Import

You can define schedules to import each type of data at a specified frequency to automate data import.

You have a default import schedule associated with every import configuration.

Perform the following steps to schedule the import:

Go to Data Import > Scheduled Imports to view the schedules defined by default.
The following image displays the default schedules for each import configuration defined for PC/PA and VMDR.

We recommend to import each type of data at least once everyday. However, you can define to import data multiple times a day depending on your infrastructure and scanning frequency

In the default import schedules, review the following sections:

If you want to copy the default import schedule, modify it, and create a new schedule, open the default import schedule, click Make changes to the same, right-click the toolbar, and click Insert and Stay.

Review the following fields:

Delta Timestamp - Indicates the date and time when this scheduled import was last run.
If the Delta Timestamp field is populated, the data import is executed as delta. For the first import execution, clear the value in the Delta Timestamp field to perform the full import.

Chunk Size - Indicates the number of records to be imported in a chunk.
