What is the default snmp polling rate for links that Dude discovers? It appears to be one second. Is there a way to change it on a link by link basis?
link polling frequency is 10 seconds for all links and that cannot be changed right now
Thanks uldis. Can you describe the relationship of the polling frequency specified in the rate function when you apply the following to a link appearance:
AP RX: [bitrate((rate(oid(“1.3.6.1.4.1.5454.1.20.3.6.1.23.2”),1))*8)] ← The smiley is an 8.
AP TX: [bitrate((rate(oid(“1.3.6.1.4.1.5454.1.20.3.6.1.22.2”),1))*8)]
I set the rate function update frequency to 1 second but it looks like the polling is still done every 10 seconds and then updated. If I change the rate function polling to 10, the link update frequency is much longer. Does it act as a multiplier of the default link rate polling frequency? I assume the rate function isn’t polling the device every second in this case.
Also, is the default polling for OIDs added to the appearance of a device 10 seconds?
by saying ‘link polling frequency is 10 seconds’ I mean that functions
associated with labels are performed each 10 seconds. ‘rate’ function doesn’t
change the polling frequency, polling frequency can be limited by changing
caching times. ‘rate’ function ‘remembers’ previous value and time it was
called. Then when it gets called it subtracts previous value from current
value, previous time from current time and by knowing those two numbers it
can give you the rate at which value changes per second or whatever other
time interval.
