To set parameters for heartbeat polling
1. Choose Configure | System Settings . The System Settings dialog box appears.
2. As indicated by the interface text, adjust the sliders to set the time allowance
NetCentral Lite exercises before it declares a system off-line. Set the “Interval
between heartbeat checks” slider so that NetCentral Lite checks often enough to
give you adequate notification of a problem, but not so often that it unnecessarily
increases the traffic on your network. Use similar considerations as you set the
other sliders.
3. If you want to temporarily disable NetCentral Lite’s heartbeat polling, uncheck the
Perform heartbeat polling check-box. Do not disable heartbeat polling in this way
if you are actively depending on NetCentral Lite for critical device monitoring.
4. When you are satisfied with your settings, click the Apply button to put the settings
into effect and leave the dialog box open, or click the OK button to save the settings
and close the dialog box.
5. Stop and restart the NetCentral software to put your changes into effect.
