I have been struggling with slow software inventories. The client settings are pretty basic, with only one item set to search subfolders (*.exe in Program Files (x86) or Program Files). The inventory time has gone from 20 minutes to 3-8 hours and I really cannot find any reason why. We have about 20,000 workstations and this is impacting the vast majority of them. In the inventoryagent.log there are no errors... just LONG delays between each namespace. On some machines we may see a timeout after 2 hours: CThrottler::Throttle()[{C0ED66AD-8194-49FD-9826-D0DD38AB7DAA}] - soft timeout exceeded. Throttling is now disabled for the current iteration of this task. The other thing I see is a lot of errors in the inventoryprovider.log. First of all a search of books and the web does not provide me with a description of what this log is tracking, so if anyone can explain I am all ears. But there does seem to be a lot of errors here... keep in mind this is happening on thousands of machines: Here is a snippet: Failed in discovering instance.
