Configuring the polling schedule

Cloud segment polling is performed according to schedule. You can set the polling frequency.

The polling frequency is automatically set at 5 minutes in the Configure cloud environment settings. You can change this value at any time and set a different schedule. However, it is not recommended to configure polling to run more frequently than every 5 minutes, because this could lead to errors in the API operation.

To configure a cloud segment polling schedule:

In the console tree, select the Device discovery → Cloud node.
In the workspace, click Configure polling.
The cloud properties window opens.
In the list, select the connection you want and click the Properties button.
The connection properties window opens.
In the properties window, click the Set polling schedule link.
The Schedule window opens.
Define the following settings:

  If the Administration Server is switched off or unavailable during the time for which the poll is scheduled, the Administration Server can either start the poll immediately after it is switched on, or wait for the next time for which the poll scheduled.
  
  If this option is enabled, the Administration Server starts polling immediately after it is switched on.
  
  If this option is disabled, the Administration Server waits for the next time for which the polling is scheduled.
  
  By default, this option is enabled.
Click OK to save the changes.

The polling schedule is configured and saved.
