Dynamic scan_interval
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the current setup, scan_interval can only be modified in xml. A restart is typically needed to apply the changes.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if the scan_interval can be adjusted (get and set) using service calls.
This will make it easier to adhere to ethical and sustainable scraping practices. Lower scan_intervals could be utilized for short periods as needed; higher scan_interval can be used at other times.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It can possibly be done by disabling the scan_interval (by setting to 0), and relying solely on service calls to refresh the scraped data. However, the proposed solution will make it easier and increase adoption.
The proposed solution will make the code more complex and harder to maintain with little advantage over the alternative you described :)
So closing this issue.
