Feature Description
As of NMIS 8.6.2a user defined polling polices may be configured. This provides users with the ability to assign a unique polling policy to a node. Users are able to select the following attributes when configuring a polling policy.
- ICMP/Ping frequency
- SNMP Polling frequency
- WMI polling frequency
The available time options for each attribute follow:
- 1 minute
- 2 mintues
- 5 minutes
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
- 6 hours

Chris thought: It would be cool if they could assign a polling policy to a group.
Configuration
Configure a Polling Policy
From the NMIS8 home dashboard using the top menu bar navigate to System -> System Configuration -> Polling Policy. This will render a 'Polling Policy' window. From this this window polling polices may be added, viewed and deleted.
Click the 'add' link and a new window will render.
In this window enter a 'Policy Name', select the polling frequencies, and optionally add a Description. When finished click the 'Add' button.
