• Enabled — Allows you to enable or disable monitors. You can set the Override Setting to either True or False.
• Interval in Seconds — The frequency (in seconds) with which the management pack polls the Dell device to check the health of a
component. The default setting for the interval in seconds is 3700 (62 minutes).
• SNMP Timeout Intervals — The time specified for the SNMP stack to wait till the same request is retried. The default setting for
the SNMP timeout is 60 seconds.
