Overview

Customizing Polling Cycles

Printer monitoring involves three polling cycles namely Health, Status SNMP, and Status HTTP. The

printer parameters, such as printer status, page count and supply level parameters vary frequently.

These are queried during the Health polling cycle and are very important for understanding the print

readiness of monitored devices.
Parameters such as tray status, network configuration and printer settings do not vary frequently. These

are queried during the status polling cycle.
As shown in Figure 5-4, we set the intervals for all the three polling cycles. The duration of the cycle

depends on the number of printers managed.
To customize polling cycles, perform the following steps:

1 In the Overview window, click Settings.
