Poller script 5 minutes running time

[denisnikulin]

Hi,

We have more than 5000 devices in our network and it takes the poller ~5mins 20 seconds to finish all jobs.

The maximum timeout of 298 seconds is hardcoded in the PHP script so we increased it manually by setting the max_execution_time to a fixed number to ensure that the poller finished polling all the devices.

We're thinking of submitting a bug report with a patch to implement a larger interval. But could anyone explain why 5 minutes was chosen as the largest interval? And whether there's anything else we should be looking at to improve our poller's performance?

Thanks,
Den

The poller runs every 5 minutes. If it runs for longer than 5 minutes, you can running into insert overlaps and end up missing data.

Switch to spine instead of cmd.php

Thanks for your reply. We are already using the latest version of spine.

Have you tried the boost plugin?

Under settings -> poller -> Spine Specific Execution Parameters you can change the # of threads.
