Change How Often an Agent Checks for Policy or Key Updates

The Web Agent polls the Policy Server at regular intervals to check for the following items:

• Updated management information
• Updated policies
• Dynamically updated agent keys

You can change this interval according to your needs with the following parameter:

• PSPollInterval

  Specifies how often (in seconds) the Web Agent contacts the Policy Server to retrieve information about policy changes or dynamically updated keys. Higher numbers (longer intervals) decrease network traffic. Lower numbers (shorter intervals) increase network traffic.

  Default: 30

  Limit: 1

  Example: If the level of traffic in your network is moderate, or your website does not change often, you can increase the interval to reduce network traffic.

To change how often a Web Agent checks the Policy Server for updates, change the number of seconds in the PSPollInterval parameter.
