(Optional) Configure the maximum number of threads that are used
concurrently.
During the inventory process, a separate thread is used for each device. You
can increase or decrease this number. This number is based on the amount
of traffic you want this task to generate or the capacity of your Notification
Server. For example, if you run the task during the night and are not as
concerned about network traffic, you can increase this number. This method
lets you gather inventory from many devices. If you are concerned about the
processing load on your server, you may want to decrease this number.
