Hi Fleet team. I have observed in my server that every hour on the top of the hour, the CPU and the Disk write operation have spikes. I am suspecting this is from the vulnerability feature, but wanted to see if you could help me confirm this with some steps I could take to check. And if it is, how can I disable it as I am not using it at the moment?

Hi @Vinny That definitely sounds like vulnerability processing, which is generally the mose expensive thing Fleet does and happens hourly by default.

Yes, using it.

If you want to keep software inventory, the best bet is to just turn off the vulnerability schedule: https://fleetdm.com/docs/configuration/fleet-server-configuration#disable-schedule You'd still gather software for individual hosts, but host counts and vulnerabilities will not update. If you don't need software inventory, you can disable that in your org settings as well: https://fleetdm.com/docs/configuration/yaml-files#features

Thank you very much. The problem was solved by disabling the schedule checks
