| Choose a system you would like to scan, from the dropdown menu, using the "Add scanner" button.
Once one of the systems is chosen, a new configuration menu becomes available.
The configuration menu consists of three tabs, Config, Scanner options and Data expiration.
For the purpose of the wizard, it is only necessary to work through the config tab.
Config
You must create a name for the scanner, it is helpful to choose a name which is similar to the system name.
Fill in the IP or the name of the system as well as the correct protocol.
The username and password are for the read-user on your specific system, which BVQ will use to collect data.

| title | Add scanners -Scanner options |
|---|
| In this example we see a NetApp specific configuration window.
The Scanner will be running on the local host.
A topology scan interval of one hour is recommended.
In this example you can also activate the NetApp quota scan which again is system specific.
The performance scan interval default value is five minutes for the NetApp scanner, which means BVQ is collecting every five minutes performance data for every single minute.
The log level default for all scanners is Info, only for debug purposes the second option should be used.
We also do not recommend changing the log size limit.
