View active Deep Security Manager nodes
To display a list of all active Deep Security Manager nodes, go to Administration > Manager Nodes . (See also Run Deep Security Manager on multiple nodes. )
To display details about one of the manager nodes, double-click its row in the list. The Properties window will display:
- Hostname: The hostname of the computer where Deep Security Manager is installed.
- Description: A description of the manager node.
- Performance Profile: Deep Security Manager's performance can be affected by several factors including number of CPUs, available bandwidth, and database responsiveness. The manager's default performance settings are designed to be suited for most installation environments. However, if you experience performance issues your support provider may suggest that you change the performance profile assigned to one or more of your Deep Security Manager nodes. (You should not change these settings without first consulting your support provider.)
The "Simultaneous Endpoint Disk and Network Jobs" referred to in the tables below include anti-malware scans, integrity monitoring scans, reconnaissance scans, sending policy updates to computers, and distributing security updates.
- Aggressive: This performance profile is optimized for installations where the
Deep Security Manager is installed on a dedicated server. For example, this is how some common concurrent operations could be distributed per manager node using the Aggressive performance profile:
Operation 2-core system 8-core system Activations 10 20 Updates 25 50 Recommendation Scans 5 12 Check Status 100 Same (100) Agent- or Appliance-Initiated Heartbeats 20 Active
40 Queued50 Active
40 QueuedSimultaneous Endpoint Disk and Network Jobs 50 50 Simultaneous Endpoint Disk and Network Jobs per ESXi 3 3 - Standard: This Performance Profile is optimized for installations where the Deep Security Manager and the database are on the same computer. For example, this is how some common concurrent operations could be distributed per manager node using the Standard performance profile:
Operation 2-core system 8-core system Activations 5 10 Updates 16 46 Recommendation Scans 3 9 Check Status 65 100 Agent- or Appliance-Initiated Heartbeats 20 Active

All performance profiles limit the number of concurrent component updates to 100 per relay group. - Aggressive: This performance profile is optimized for installations where the
Deep Security Manager is installed on a dedicated server. For example, this is how some common concurrent operations could be distributed per manager node using the Aggressive performance profile:
- Status: Indicates the node's online and active status from the perspective of the Deep Security Manager node you are currently logged into.
- Options: You can choose to decommission a manager node. The node must be offline (uninstalled or service halted) to be decommissioned.
