NumThreads specifies the maximum number of service threads that an agent is allowed to create. Service threads are the threads in the agent that service resource commands, the main one being entry point processing. NumThreads does not control the number of threads used for other internal purposes.
Agents dynamically create service threads depending on the number of resources that the agent has to manage. Until the number of resources is less than the NumThreads value, the addition of a new resource will make the agent create an additional service thread. Also, if the number of resources falls below the NumThreads value as a result of deletion of resources, the agent will correspondingly delete service threads. Since an agent for a type will be started by the engine only if there is at least one resource for that type in the configuration, an agent will always have at least 1 service thread. Setting NumThreads to 1 will thus prevent any additional service threads from being created even if more resources are added.
The maximum value that can be set for NumThreads is 30.
Default is 10. The NumThreads attribute cannot be overridden.
