This table summarizes the time of execution of those tasks that the different Nexthink components perform during the night, when the activity in your IT infrastructure is supposed to be low.
Little activity in the IT infrastructure is desirable because the nightly tasks require appreciable processing power from the Nexthink appliances. In particular, the execution of the tasks Data collection and Engine cleanup and maintenance may significantly reduce the responsiveness of your Engines to concurrent requests (investigations, remote actions, etc).
Some of them are configurable so you can adapt their activation to the time that suits you best.
