I am monitoring 8,000+ nodes of which I really don't care about the stats, just the up/down status. Is there a way to stop the statistics collection in bulk? If I edit the properties of these nodes and change the "Collect Statistics Every" option to 0, will it not gather stats any more, or does it have an absolute default?
I am trying to lessen the strain on my polling engines and on my SQL database by stopping the collection of the unwanted data.
