# Scan Iter Interval

Determines the length of time between each interval of the store scan. The EMS server begins scanning a new section of the mstore at the time interval specified here.

Specify time in units of `msec`, `sec`, `min`, `hour` or `day` to describe the time value as being in milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days, respectively. For example:

`100msec`

By default, the mstore examines stores every 10 seconds.

## Classic Configuration

Specify the scan interval the scan_iter_interval property in the stores.conf file:

    scan_iter_interval=timemsec|sec|min|hour|day

For details on the syntax of stores.conf, see mstore Store Settings.

## Administration Tool

Stores cannot be created or modified using the administration tool.
