# How can I run multiple plugins simultaneously on one host in Enginsight?

The Enginsight agent Pulsar can run multiple custom scripts, known as plugins, at the same time. The default number of plugins that can be run simultaneously is **10**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note**: Running multiple plugins at the same time can generate a high system load. To avoid overloading your systems, we therefore recommend keeping the default value of 10.
{% endhint %}

You can adjust this setting in the Pulsar's configuration file.

***

## Configuration on Linux Hosts

On a Linux host, follow these steps:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Log in to the Linux host whose Pulsar configuration file you want to adjust.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Open the Pulsar configuration file using the following command:

```
sudo nano /opt/enginsight/pulsar/config.json
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add the `override` section or adjust it as follows if the section already exists:

<pre><code>"override": {
    "plugins": {
      "disabled": false,
<strong>      "concurrency": 0
</strong>    }
}
</code></pre>

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note**: The value **0** corresponds to the **default value of 10 plugins that can be run simultaneously**. Change the value as needed to adjust the number of plugins that can be executed at the same time.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Save the configuration file (**Ctrl** + **o**) and confirm the save process. Close the file (**Ctrl** + **x**).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Restart Pulsar using the following command:

```
sudo systemctl restart ngs-pulsar
```

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Configuration on Windows Hosts

On a Windows host, follow these steps:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Log in as an administrator to the Windows host whose Pulsar configuration file you want to adjust.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Navigate to the directory where the Pulsar configuration file is located and open the file:

```
C:\Program Files\Enginsight\Pulsar\config.json
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Add the `override` section or adjust it as follows if the section already exists:

<pre><code>"override": {
    "plugins": {
      "disabled": false,
<strong>      "concurrency": 0
</strong>    }
}
</code></pre>

{% hint style="warning" %}
