Conguring status polling frequency
You can congure OpenManage Essentials to check the health status of all discovered devices that have a means of health
instrumentation such as OpenManage Server Administrator. The status can be scheduled at a given interval using Status Polling so
that health status is always current.
To congure status polling:
1. Click Manage → Discovery and Inventory → Common Tasks → Status Schedule.
2. In Status Polling Schedule Settings, select Enable Status Polling and provide the polling parameters including time and
performance.
3. Click OK.
NOTE: It is recommended not to schedule status polling at the same time as the Database Maintenance Execution
Schedule, as the console is less responsive during database maintenance.

Task pop-up notications
The task pop-up notication is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the OpenManage Essentials console when a task is
completed. The information displayed in the task pop-up notication varies based on the number of completed tasks.
NOTE: The task pop-up notication is displayed only for tasks that create a Task Execution History.
If only one task is completed, the following information is displayed:
• Status of the task — Indicates if the task was successful or unsuccessful.
• Task name as a link that you can click to view the Task Execution Details (if available).
• A link to open the portal related to the task.
• A link to access the task pop-up notication settings where you can disable task pop-up notications.
If more than one alert is received, the following information is displayed:
• Number of tasks that are completed.
• Task names as links that you can click to view the Task Execution Details (if available).
NOTE: The task name link is displayed only for the rst three tasks.
• Go to Alert Console — To access the Alerts portal.

By default, the alert pop-up notication is enabled. You can congure OpenManage Essentials to disable alert pop-up notications or
set the time interval between each alert pop-up notication.
NOTE: The Alert Pop-up Notication Settings is user-specic. The settings you have congured is not applicable to
