Custom Polling Interval per system type.

jkeberle

We would find it greatly helpful for load purposes to be able to adjust polling intervals based upon system type.

I dont mean switchs, routers, APs, servers.

I mean

poll 6509 switches every 5 min

Poll GSR routers every 2 minutes

Poll 2960 switches every 15 minutes.

Poll 2651 routers every 20 minutes.

even better if possible.

Poll T1 and greater serial interfaces every 5 minutes

Poll Ethernet interfaces 100Mbps or less every 30 minutes

Poll Ethernet interfaces running at 1000Mbps every 5 minutes

Poll high end chassis models every 5 minutes

Poll low end chassis models every 15 minutes

jkeberle,

You could kinda, sorta do this through Node Management, but it would be rather kludgey. You could group your Node Management list by machine type and do a select all and then click Edit Properties. You could change the Node status polling and Collect Statistics settings for all of the selected nodes. Like I said, it's not elegant but it would get you what you want.

Good idea, I have noted it down as a future idea, the notion of device templates if you will

Hi Brandon Shopp

I have same question about assigning different PING / SNMP polling intervals by category.

Can this be done with a more elegant way now that "Groups" have been introduced ? if yes, How ?

Thank you

Not yet, Dynamic Service Groups are not available in the group by, although no reason we shouldn't add it there
