Assigning Multiple Custom Pollers to a device

Has anyone found an effecient way to add multiple custom pollers to a device? I have about 25 custom pollers I add to every Windows server when it's added to Orion and it's a total whip having to click each one and then assign the device individually per poller. I was hoping I could highlight multiple pollers and then assign but that isn't possible via the gui. I imagine this can be accomplished via a query analzyer statement.

Universal Pollers will tap into the same pool of resources as APM and NPM. If you're already at your limit, it won't get around the "physics" of the software.

James,

Due to the design of the interface it is a rather manual process. The thought process was that you would create a poller and then assign it to multiple nodes or interfaces. As for using a SQL statement to do this it would be difficult as application created GUIDs are used as part of the assignements.

Cheers,

That's a big disappointment, for the numerous pollers I have when a new server is added that's 20-25 minutes wasted b/c of the delays within the GUI alone.

Our next release will focus on the custom polling UI and engine and address some of these issues.

Denny, glad to hear this as we also suffer from the same problem of having to manually assign all of the necessary pollers to each new node that we add.

Also, based on your comment, is it true that the UnDP pollers are handled by a different engine than the polling done by the rest of the system?
