Customizing NetSight Element Manager 2-21
Overview of NetSight Element Manager
To change the interval (if desired):
1. Click in the Interval (sec) text field, and type in the poll interval to be used as
a default when adding new devices. The range is from 5 to 9,999 seconds.
Retries
If individual device polling is in effect, this will determine the default number of times
after a failed poll that NetSight Element Manager will re-poll a device before declaring it
in a Critical (contact unavailable) state. To change the default Retries setting:
1. Click in the Retries text field, and type in the number of polls which will be
issued to an individual device before declaring a contact unavailable status.
The range is from 0 to 100 retries; the default is 3 retries.
Timeout (sec)
This field determines the default duration between retry polls to an individual device. To
change the Timeout value:
1. Click in the Timeout (sec) text field, and type in the duration (in seconds)
between re-polls after the initial poll failure. The range is from 1 to 90
seconds; the default is 4 seconds.
Directories Options
The Directories page lists the default locations used by NetSight Element Manager and its
components to store and retrieve files. It also allows you to change the default Map and
Export directories.
NOTE
This Timeout value can only be configured here, for all nodes; individual Node Properties
windows do not provide the option of setting this value.
