Troubleshooting: Polling Stopped Event Message

Symptom:

A "polling stopped" event appeared in my events list. Why?

Solution:

By default, Data Aggregator controls SNMP polling, helping to ensure that too many poll requests do not overwhelm a device. One method for controlling poll traffic is the SNMP timeouts threshold. The default threshold value is 15. Therefore, when 15 or more SNMP requests timeout, polling is suspended for the remainder of the current polling cycle. An event is generated, informing you of the situation.

Note: Polling resumes at the beginning of each poll cycle. When no timeouts occur in a complete 5-minute poll cycle, a "clear" event is generated.
