Set polling interval to 24 hours for nodes

The polling interval field in the database is a smallint datatype that uses 2 bytes to store the value. The maximum value is 32,767 which is why system won't let you use a large number. 

32,767 seconds is ~9.1 hours. If you use 28,800 seconds it would poll every 8 hours (poll 3x a day).

Is there a particular requirement that it needs to be once every 24 hours?

H Shuth,

Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, thats the ask from the customer to make the polling period to 24 hours. Before going back to them I need to make sure there is no option to make such a change.

Is there any option to do it?

sreenathmp just out of curiosity, what kind of device do they want to be polled only once every 24 hours?

but shuth is correct, the restriction is on the DB and there is no way to change that.

As a workaround you could run a script to unmanage the node for 11 hours 55 minutes every day

There are some development servers for which customer want the polling to be limited to 24 hours. Note that we were able to change the stats collection to 24 hours as its in minutes, but as polling interval is in seconds value was high and  we were not able to do that.
