Now I understand that this is going to seem like an odd question but can somebody explain exactly what this controls? My guess is this is how often instance discovery would be run?
However, the default value is 10 minutes and that seems REALLY short or at least in our environment. We have a ton of templates and for something like a switch, report on interfaces that we are using and have to run filters to get to this point. Then we might also monitor 5+ values per port. This is a LOT of polling on what seems like pretty static information if we are understanding it correctly.
I was thinking about adjusting this to something like 86400 (1 day) but when it defaults to such a low number wonder if I am missing something.
Appreciate any further details on what this value does. Thanks!
Yes, you are correct - it is interval between instance discovery polls. You can set it to larger value without missing anything else.
Best regards,
