Error Message

Scan terminated because the total paths that could not be scanned exceeds configured max_err limit:5000 Files scanned:14947, Folders scanned 928, Avg Throughput: 2989 files per minute, 185 folder minute
 

The error occurs when Data Insight aborts scanning when the total number of scanning errors exceeds the configured limit. By default this value is 5000

To determine the specific errors that caused failure check the Scan Errors for the share:

In the UI, Settings - Inventory - Filers - - Monitored Shares

Use the Select Action drop down for the share, select Scan Status

In the Scan Status window, select Scan Errors

Note the paths and causes of failure

The first step is resolve the specific Scan Errors on the share

In the example above, there are two paths that the scan account cannot access 

Permissions on those two paths need to be resolved so the scan account has at least read access to scan

Once the errors that can be resolved are corrected and you still receive this error, you can increase the scan error limit as follows:

In the UI,  Settings - Inventory - Data Insight Servers - - Advanced Settings - Set Custom Properties
Specify the following :
Property name: scanner.max_err
Property value:
