Customizing the Polling Interval

A polling interval defines how often new data is collected. IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series KM for PATROL polls the managed systems to collect performance and statistics data. By default, the polling interval for this "data-collect" is set to 2 minutes.

The more the polling interval is low, the more the collection process is time consuming

To change the polling interval for the managed system, right-click the KM icon > KM Commands > KM Settings > Polling Interval…

Customizing Polling Interval

In addition to the polling interval that is a global setting, i.e. it is applicable to the whole managed system, you can also manually trigger a poll at any time on individual instances to refresh parameter values. Right-click the instance icon > Refresh Parameters.
