How to Implement Dynamic Polling for Specific Groups in an HTTP Protocol

129 views22nd July 2025dynamic polling HTTP

Deema Mahmud [DevOps Advocate]168 21st July 2025 0 Comments

Hi everyone,

In an HTTP-based protocol, how can I implement dynamic polling for specific groups?

Currently, polling is handled by a timer, but I’d like to allow users to dynamically adjust polling intervals from the UI — for example, using write parameters to control how often each group is polled.

If anyone has suggestions, best practices, example implementations, or a tutorial for this approach, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Deema,

You should be able to achieve your goal by implementing a table similar to the one in Alberto's answer to another question.

Besides the table, you then need an extra timer that will have a frequency in line with what you want to be the smallest division your users should be able to configure (e.g. 1 1-second timer if you should be able to configure down to the second, or 1-minute timer if your users will only configure in multiples of minutes).

You can then use a QAction that gets triggered every cycle of the timer and checks which groups it should add to execution via Method CheckTrigger | DataMiner Docs.

Alternatively, you could use a combination of internal XML parameters, triggers, actions, and groups to decrement a counter stored in the internal parameter with every timer cycle. Once it reaches zero, you would add the desired polling group to the execution queue.

Hi João,

Is there a valid example or existing protocol that has implemented dynamic HTTP polling using a timer that I could look into?
