Modifying the polling time of the Event Server

The Properties tab of the Event Server allows you to change the frequency with which the Event Server checks for file events. This "File Polling Interval in Seconds" setting determines the number of seconds that the server waits between polls. The minimum value is 1 (one). It is important to note that, the lower the value, the more resources the server requires.

Tip:    On Windows, you can also change this setting in the CCM. Stop the Event Server and view its Properties. Then click the Configuration tab.

1. Go to the Servers management area of the CMC.
2. Click the link to the Event Server whose settings you want to change.
3. Make your changes on the Properties tab.

The value that you type must be 1 or greater.

4. Click Update.
5. Return to the Servers management area of the CMC.
