Planning Polling Intervals

For each object group, you select a polling interval that NNMi uses to collect data. The interval can be as short as one minute, or as long as days to best match your Service Level Agreements.

Tip: Shorter intervals help you become aware of network problems as soon as possible; however, polling too many objects in too short an interval can cause a backlog in the State Poller. Find the best balance between resource utilization and intervals for your environment.

Note The Causal Engine performs a Status Poll of each node every 24 hours and updates Status, Conclusion, and Incident information as needed. This Status Poll does not affect the timing of the Polling interval configured for the device.
