About the General: Poller Health report

This home-level dashboard report displays the status of the local poller and all pollers installed on your network. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard allows you to ascertain at a glance if one or more pollers are down.

Each entry in the report contains the following information:

• Status. A color-coded indicator of poller status.
• Name. Displays the name of the poller.
• Lag Time. The amount of time in seconds the poller is behind its scheduled time to poll devices; indicates poller overloaded.
• Lag Time Status. Indicates if lag time is causing a polling issue.

To the left of each poller name is a circular icon that serves as a visual indicator of poller status:

• Red. Indicates the listed poller is not active or status is unknown.
• Yellow. Indicates the poller is starting up or beginning to fail.
• Green. Indicates the listed poller is active and functioning properly.

Note: A yellow status icon is rare and is only seen as an automatic intermediary between red and green when a poller starts up or is failing.
