Polling Interval Change

clerum

OK-

What I am trying to accomplish is different polling intervals for different devices/interfaces. So I have added a custom property called Service_Level, and added to Interfaces and Nodes. Now I go into the "Network Preformance Monitor Settings" and change the default poll interval for nodes to 120 seconds. I also set the statistic collection interval to 5 minutes.

Now I have some core nodes I want to have polled every 10 sec and intefaces I want stats on @ 1 min intervals.

So I hope in and do my sql statements like so

update nodes set pollinterval=10 where service_level=0;
update interfaces set statcollection=1 where service_level=0;

update nodes set pollinterval=60 where service_level=10;
update interfaces set pollinterval=60 where service_level=0;


I can verify from the website that things have been updated. But then in no time @ all it appears the changes have reverted. I'm doing this with the SQL Server Enterprise Manager, I don't see that I have to type commit...what am I missing, or is orion just overwriting my changes?

Have you stopped & restarted the Solarwinds Poller service?

BTW, with those polling times, you are really going to tax the server and grow the DB in a hurry. Make sure you re-run the polling engine tuning app, as your polls per second will need to go waaaaay up.
Also - be prepared for false alerts with those kind of polling intervals.
