Understanding
polling groups and settings
Using the Polling and Thresholds
Console, you can customize ICMP and SNMP polling for the
IP Availability Manager
and IP Performance Manager
by
modifying default polling groups, or by creating new polling groups.
The polling groups periodically poll the managed IP devices to collect
availability and performance data.The
IP Availability Manager
and IP Performance Manager
uses
the settings
in a polling group to assign polling parameters
to a particular group of managed devices. From a polling and threshold
perspective, a setting is a collection of parameters that are common
to a particular type of analysis; for example, connectivity polling
or environment polling.
