- Poller Avg Lag. The average amount of time in seconds the poller is behind its scheduled time to poll devices.
- Poller Description. The description given when adding/editing the poller in using the Polling Configuration interface.
- Manual Maintenance. Drop the managed device to maintenance mode and specify a date and time for the maintenance period to end without further end-user interaction, if desired. (Useful mode and marker in reports and for SLA accounting.)
- [Configure Polling Up/Down Dependency]. Poll based on the status of another device or resolved host.
Tip: If you need to apply a shorter poller interval either temporarily, or for troubleshooting performance, consider using the RealTime Performance monitor.
Note: In WhatsUp Gold, a given device is considered to be in a down state if it has either a critical monitor down or all monitors down
- Schedule Recurring Maintenance Times. Specify when the selected device regularly enters/exits maintenance mode without user interaction.
