Additional Pollers - Automatic Load Disribution

Hi there.

We recently added additional pollers to our Solarwinds system and I was shocked that you have to manually allocate nodes to specific polling engines.

My feature request would be for the OPTION to have automatic load balancing of additional pollers in an upcoming release.  There should be consideration put into how the load distribution works and we need to retain the option to manually assign nodes still (because there are corner cases in my opinion for wanting to manually control certain nodes).

Thank you.

  • This would be a cool feature. As noted it needs to be an option. For us we're not too worried about where the polling is happening from so the ability to turn on "automatically distribute between pollers" would be great.

    Almost like VMware's DRS emoticons_happy.png "Hey, this node has loads of volumes and interfaces and the current polling engine is at 80% capacity but there are three other engines that will perform better. Let's automatically move it...". But with the ability to create rules such as stickiness ("this node must ALWAYS be on this polling engine").
