a) UDT poller to report failed polls through Solarwinds Events so system administrators can tie the events to problematical nodes.
Include some diagnostic information so the administrator can figure out why the poll failed (L2/l3/SNMP timeout errors, other internal errors)
at the moment these are buried in the logfiles on the individual servers and in the database
b) do not put the processid in the UDT poller log-file so the server does not fill its disks with logfiles; the logfiles are rotated so one processID will only create 5 10MB logs, but each time the jobengine is restarted the UDT poller process gets a new jobID, and so you end up with tens of thousands of 10MB logfiles.
