About Device Property Polling

Polling is the term used for monitoring discovered devices in WhatsUp Gold. The Polling dialog lets you configure polling options and/or schedule maintenance times for the selected device.

Polling

Note: Polling dependencies & blackouts only apply to the collection of device active monitors.

Maintenance

Use this section of the dialog to manually set the device Maintenance state, or schedule the maintenance state for a certain time period. Any device placed in Maintenance mode will not be polled, but it remains in the device list with an identifying icon. By default, the maintenance state is represented by an orange background color.

For more information, see Polling overview and Dependencies overview.
