• Polling Interval. Determines how frequently WhatsUp Gold fetches observations from this device.
  • Poll Using. Select an IP address for a particular interface or resolve to a specific DNS hostname.
  • Poller. The name and status of the poller gathering information from this device.
  • 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.)

Tip: If you need to apply a shorter poller interval either temporarily, or for troubleshooting performance, consider using the RealTime Performance monitor.
