I need to set the scan\_frequency config parameter for the Filebeat subprocess of Elastic Agent running on Windows managed by Fleet. I'm using the IIS integration. I would like to try to reduce CPU usage. How do I do this? ---

Hi Stephen, thanks - I'm using the IIS integration. ---

Sorry I meant which of the datasets Can you show me the equivalent beats integration / data set #### Collect IIS access and error logs (input: log) If you are talking about ##### [scan\_frequency](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html#filebeat-input-log-scan-frequency) > How often Filebeat checks for new files in the paths that are specified for harvesting. For example, if you specify a glob like `/var/log/*`, the directory is scanned for files using the frequency specified by `scan_frequency`. Specify 1s to scan the directory as frequently as possible without causing Filebeat to scan too frequently. We do not recommend to set this value `<1s`. > > If you require log lines to be sent in near real time do not use a very low `scan_frequency` but adjust `close_inactive` so the file handler stays open and constantly polls your files. > > The default setting is 10s. I an not sure that you can set that today with fleet managed agent ... ' You could try to "hack it in" in the processors settings but pretty sure that will _not_ work ![Screen Shot 2022-11-12 at 11.29.30 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/8/58f8c94e7fdeefe3f2b4774b455cbf21d2581a64.png) If it is really important you may need to use Stand Alone Agent... Also I am just now looking at 8.5 where there is the **new experimental** [Fleet API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/fleet-api-docs.html) perhaps through that. #### Collect IIS application\_pool, webserver and website metrics You can change the collection interval for this right in the UI. ![Screen Shot 2022-11-12 at 11.23.49 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/c/6c016b2f3093c57747041f076485257dd83a9e15.png) ---
