#Dexter: What is the overhead of DEXTER on controllers?

[Bibek.Parakh]

Hi all,

I have been exploring the Dexter tool for few days. So, I am wondering what is the impact of Dexter tool on the controllers perfomance(From where it is fetching the data)? Also one more thing, please correct me if my understanding of the tool is correct or not. I think that once the tool is done with extracting the data from controllers, Dexter does not use any resources on the controller host? Is it a correct assumption?

Thanks and regards.

Thanks Daniel for the help. Just to be sure when the status is 50, that means DEXTER is not having any effect in the controller host.

Status of 50 means it is done running, and finished successfully. No impact on the controller since it isn't running
