Change SNMP polling timing

Hi

We would like to see a closer look at the bit rate of the network switches.

Is there a way to change the SNMP polling cycle time per element?

We would like to display a value that is a little closer to the current state, not only the bit rate but also the up/down status, etc.

Hi Yuki

You can change the polling speed of an element by changing the [Timer base] general parameter of that element. If you set the element’s [Timer base] parameter to 3, the frequencies of the timers will all be multiplied by 3. This will result in a slower polling speed. Entering a value < 1 will result in a faster polling speed.

To find the [Timer base] general parameter:

  1. Open the relevant element card.
  2. Go to the page General parameters.
  3. Enter the desired value next to [Timer base] and click the green check mark icon.

Detailed info about this topic can be found on docs.dataminer.services.

Hope this will help you out.

Kind regards

Thanks for the pertinent response.

Do note that we are always trying to select the best possible timer intervals based on all known criteria. For example, if you use [Timer Base] to speed up the polling interval, this could for example overload the SNMP agent of your product.
