Sample Global Configuration File - HP B6191-90029 User Manual

However, if you do want to suppress the reporting of less important events, you can change the severity action
to IGNORE. This will affect all events in that category, and all instances of the monitor's hardware resources.
Polling Interval
If you need more frequent polling to isolate a potential problem with the hardware, the polling interval can be
reduced. Be aware that more frequent polling may impact system performance, so you may want to shorten
the polling period only temporarily until the problem is solved. Avoid using a low polling interval for all
monitors or system performance may suffer.
Repeat Frequency
If you need to be alerted to an event frequently, the repeat frequency can be reduced. The default repeat
frequency is once a day.
