Configure the Polling Options for Device Alerts and Supplies Alerts
You can define how often devices should be checked to see if they warrant alerts. Frequent polling can
increase network traffic; infrequent polling might cause some device alerts to go unnoticed and, therefore,
unattended. You can also specify how long an alert event stays in the alert history log, or you can clear the
alerts log at any time.
You can configure static polling rates for supplies alerts subscriptions. This feature helps prevent missing
alerts by keeping supplies alerts subscriptions in a static polling interval. If you enable this feature, supplies
alerts subscriptions that exceed the specified threshold are placed in static polling. These supplies alerts
subscriptions remain in static polling until you disable static polling or replenish the supplies. Supplies alerts
subscriptions move to the static poller on the next polling cycle of the poller the subscription is in. If you
disable this feature, qualifying supplies alerts subscriptions move from the static poller to the most
appropriate poller, which is determined by the rate of use for the supply, on the next polling cycle of the
poller the subscription is in.
Follow these steps:
1. On the top menu bar, access Tools > Options > Device Management > Device Polling > Alerts.
2. To configure polling for devices, specify the following settings:
