Field Description

Enable OnDemand Poll Select to query the global status of the device

when an alert is received from the device.

NOTE: If a large number of alerts are received,

multiple OnDemand polls are queued up and

it may affect the system performance. In this

scenario, it is recommended to turn off

OnDemand poll and enable the regular status

poll interval to retrieve the health status of

managed devices.

If OnDemand poll is disabled, the device status

only updates on the normal status poll.
