A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Custom Polling in a Global Network Management Environment

You can configure Custom Polling on a Global Manager. When you configure Custom Polling on a Global Manager, you can do the following:

Apply the Custom Poller Policy to a node group that is local to the Global Manager (that is, the node group is not associated with any underlying Regional Managers)
Apply the Custom Poller Policy to a node group that contains nodes that are managed by a Regional Manager.

In this case, the Global Manager uses a Regional Manager as a regional proxy to collect custom-polled data. This configuration enables you to:
- View incidents for Custom Node Collection and Custom Polled Interfaces in the incident view of the Global Manager.
- Export Custom Poller Collection to a CSV file on the Global Manager.
- View Custom Poller reports in the NPS console when an NPS system is configured with the Global Manager.

The following diagram illustrates the working of a Global Network Management environment with a Custom Poller collection configured with a regional manager:

The Regional Manager RM1 has Custom Polling configured and the Custom Poller policy is applied to Network 1. All the nodes in Network 1 are local to RM1, and therefore, none of the custom-polled data collected by RM1 can reach the Global Manager.

Custom Polling configuration is created on the Global Manager and the Custom Poller Policy is configured to work with Network 2, which is managed by RM 2. RM 2 is used by the Global Manager and works as a regional proxy to collect the custom-polled data.

To configure Custom Poller collections on a Global Manager with the help of a regional proxy:

Log on to the NNMi console of the Global Manager as administrator.
Configure Custom Pollers by following the instructions in Create Custom Polling Configurations.

While creating a Custom Poller Policy, choose a node group that is managed by a Regional Manager.

Note To see the size and hardware requirements of Global Managers configured to use regional manager as regional proxies for Custom Poller collection, see the Performance, Sizing, and Other Recommendations section in the NNMi Support Matrix.
