What is a Check-In vs. Device Scan?

What is a Check-In?

When the Automox agent "checks in", it essentially performs an app-level "ping" back to the Automox console.

Check-Ins run once hourly and after the Automox agent starts.

What is a Device Scan?

When the Automox agent performs a device scan, it retrieves commands, scripts, payload files from the Automox console, and imports any results to the Automox console database.

A device scan can run every 6-24 hours (depending on the scan interval specified in a given device Group) and after every device reboot.
