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.
Enable Status Polling Select to schedule device status polling.
Device Status Interval Set frequency of the device status poll in intervals of days,
hours, and minutes. The status polling does not begin until the
previous polling has completed.
Days — Specify the number of days between device status
polling.
Hours — Specify the number of hours between device status
polling cycles.
Minutes — Specify the number of minutes between device
status polling cycles.
The maximum discovery interval is 365 days, 23 hours, and 59
minutes.

device status polling speed. The faster you set the status speed,
the more resources are required, but less time is required to
