3. Note that it is possible to define an interval that is shorter than one
day by simply typing in a floating point number in the setting field. For
example, with a value of "0.5" all hosts that have not contacted the
server within 12 hours are considered disconnected. Values less than
one day are normally useful only for troubleshooting purposes,
because in a typical environment some hosts are naturally
disconnected from the server every now and then. For example,
laptop computers may not be able to access the server daily, but in
most cases this is normal.
4. The communication protocol selection affects the default polling
intervals. You should modify the communication setting to suit your
environment. If you are not interested in certain management
information, you can switch unnecessary polling off by clearing the
polling item you want to disable. Disable All Polling disables all of the
polling items. However, automatic polling should be disabled only if
some performance problems occur. Whether or not automatic polling
is disabled, manual refresh operations can be used to refresh the
selected view.
