# Scan Target Interval

Controls the approximate length of time taken to complete a full scan of the mstore.

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:

`12hour`

By default, the scan interval is 24 hours.

## Classic Configuration

Specify the scan time using the scan_target_interval property in the stores.conf file:

    scan_target_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.
