What is the purpose of the interval setting in a CPM policy?

The interval setting in a CyberArk Central Password Manager (CPM) policy plays a critical role in specifying how frequently the CPM checks for system-initiated tasks or work. This includes actions such as password rotations and other maintenance activities that the CPM must undertake to ensure that privileged account credentials remain secure and up to date.

By controlling this interval, administrators can optimize the performance of the CPM by adjusting how often it initiates these tasks, thereby balancing system resource usage with the need for timely password updates. The other choices do not accurately reflect the role of this particular setting. For example, logging and password validity are important, but they are governed by different aspects of CyberArk's management policies, not the interval setting for system work.
