Abstract
This technology is directed to a rules based engine for managing network-based scanning of devices on a network to minimize disruptions to the network. One or more processors may identify an initial group of network devices from a set of network devices, the initial group of network devices being identified in accordance with a rule set, and initiate a scan of the initial group of network devices. The one or more processors may determine, in accordance with the rule set, an additional group of network devices from the set of network devices to be scanned and initiate a scan of the additional group of network devices. The steps may be repeated until all network devices in the set of network devices are scanned in accordance with the rule set.
