Configure the discovery.event.pin.jobs system property to enable event processors to execute on specific nodes and distribute the work evenly. The scale factor calculates the number of nodes but doesn't
pin jobs to specific nodes.

## Before you begin

Confirm the following:

* Discovery Admin Workspace is using version 1.9.0 or later.
* ServiceNow AI Platform® is using version XP9, YP4, or later than YP4.
* The discovery.use.event.processing system property is turned on. For more information, see [Configure Discovery to use Event Framework](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/35XxjR9b1xrfGrR4uQRZrw "Configure Discovery to process jobs using the Event Framework method, which enables you to manage discovery throttling effectively and prioritize tasks based on their importance in the queue.").

Role required: discovery_admin

## About this task

The discovery.event.pin.jobs system property determines how jobs are assigned to nodes. When that property is set to true, jobs are evenly distributed across specific nodes, but
scheduling flexibility is limited. When the property is set to false, jobs are randomly assigned, which can increase Discovery throughput.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem PropertiesAll Properties.
2. In the System Properties \[sys_properties\] table, select the discovery.event.pin.jobs property.
3. Set the Value field to true.
4. Select Update.
