What area does it affect?	Discovery event processing
What does the default mean?	The default value is "30000", which sets the baseline numeric behavior for this property.
When should you review it?	When assessing legacy Discovery event scheduling or its 30-second default

Scheduled script: Stagger And Pin Discovery Event Processors In the commented-out pre-Xanadu fallback, the scheduler reads this setting as the event processor interval; changing it would alter how often those legacy triggers run, but this code is inactive and has no effect now. If unset, it uses 30,000 milliseconds (30 seconds). /sysauto_script.do?sys_id=9812f648c390aed86e45b9a4e401314d
