Polling the network

Polling is for SNMP metric collection from the devices in your network and to store the data in the database. You can collect the metrics from different devices and entity types based on the data in the Management Information Base (MIB) variables of the devices.

About this task

Typically, network polling for resources is performed every 300 seconds, which is the default polling interval.
