I do it in my home lab where performance isn’t an issue to me as i only have a few devices - it works fine enough but you should be aware that the performance impacts and my only caveat would be to either:


1) only enable it on the devices you want/need it for (and keep that count low)
2) only monitor a small number of devices

the main concern is that your polling needs to complete before the next polling jobs would start because you can get into forkbomb/DoS scenarios as the poller scripts don’t have any locking functions so you can get huge amounts of threads backed up and kill your server requiring hard reboot…

Thanks Adam, but as you might know I really want to see the graph 1min interval just like Cacti does, so can you let me know what will impact or cause the problem if we change poller to 1min interval instead of 5min by default?

Thanks,

It is possible but very, very not recommended.

It's almost certain you do not need it and should not do it.

Like. I'm saying, don't do it. For realsies.

Dear All, 

Is it possible to schedule 1min for poller interval? By default it is 5min interval.


Thanks
