HP Netsight manual Retries, Timeout sec, Directories Options

Overview of NetSight Element Manager

To change the interval (if desired):

1.Click in the Interval (sec) text field, and type in the poll interval to be used as a default when adding new devices. The range is from 5 to 9,999 seconds.

Retries

If individual device polling is in effect, this will determine the default number of times after a failed poll that NetSight Element Manager will re-poll a device before declaring it in a Critical (contact unavailable) state. To change the default Retries setting:

1.Click in the Retries text field, and type in the number of polls which will be issued to an individual device before declaring a contact unavailable status. The range is from 0 to 100 retries; the default is 3 retries.

Timeout (sec)

This field determines the default duration between retry polls to an individual device. To change the Timeout value:

1.Click in the Timeout (sec) text field, and type in the duration (in seconds) between re-polls after the initial poll failure. The range is from 1 to 90 seconds; the default is 4 seconds.

NOTE

This Timeout value can only be configured here, for all nodes; individual Node Properties windows do not provide the option of setting this value.

Directories Options
