Polling Intervals - Best Practices

FormerMember
FormerMember

Hello,

I had a tech reset all intervals back to default values.

The original Tech who setup the system has left the company

Is there a best practice to setting these polling intervals?

    Does anyone know about the best practice?
    Why most of the polling intervals have been set for 5 mins?

    Best practice will vary depending upon the number of elements you are polling, and how much strain monitored devices and your poller can handle. The more frequently you poll an interface for example, the more granular your statistical averages become. Some network devices can handle being polled more often than others. Keep an eye on CPU load of these devices and your poller rates. When you reach 80% it may be time to look into an additional poller.
