MaxActiveThreads parameter

Looking at auditing tool, the workload for our HostMonitor instance is estimated at 42 tests/sec, and there is a warning message stating the following:

Active RMA may not be able to perform all the tests (35/sec).
You may reduce test frequency or increase value of MaxActiveThreads parameter

I sifted through the options dialogues and searched the manual, and couldn't find that parameter anywhere... is it a registry entry somewhere?

This is undocumented option: hostmon.ini file [HostMon] section MaxActiveThreads parameter.
Restart HostMonitor to apply new settings.

Thank you. One more question - at roughly a hundred active RMAs, almost 13k tests and 42 tests/second, what value would you suggest for this parameter?

So 36 may be enough but better set a little higher limit ~48 because sometimes HostMonitor may need to perform more tests.
