Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform granular and selective agent-based throttling of command executions. A polling interval of an agent process executing on a protected host is monitored. If the agent process is active and a current throttle is greater than a desired throttle, the agent process and its children processes are suspended and a run count flag is incremented. However, if the agent process is inactive and the current throttle is less than or equal to the desired throttle, the agent process and its children processes are resumed and a skip count flag is incremented.
