How do I monitor the Spine poller?

The easiest way to monitor Spine performance is from the Console > Utilities > System Utilities > Technical Support page.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Console > Utilities > System Utilities > Technical Support page.
  2. Find the Poller Information section.
  3. You should see the Type is spine instead of cmd.php. If it is not, log out and log in again.
  4. In the Last Run Statistics line, the Time should be much less than 300 seconds. You should notice that the polling times are much better with Spine than with cmd.php. If your polling times are higher than 250 seconds, you need to tune the parameters (Console > Configuration > Settings > Poller). Additionally, there be other problems in your environment, such as too many graphs and/or devices.
