Polling overrides
Polling overrides provides high-granularity control over whether to poll individual interfaces. The polling override is the highest priority control over whether an interface will be polled by the NetIM poller (provided the NetIM poller has sufficient resources). The interface polling override supports three states:
• None—The polling profile’s interface filter will decide if it will be polled by the NetIM poller.
• Exclude from polling—The interface will never be polled.
• Include for polling—The interface will always be polled provided the NetIM poller has sufficient resources
Interface polling overrides can be accessed and controlled from various pages in the NetIM WebUI. For global control over polling overrides, use the Polling Overrides page.
To access the Polling Overrides page, choose Configure > All Settings > Monitor > Polling Overrides. The following screen appears.
