You can also edit interface poll settings for multiple nodes via the Multi-Node Properties
window (illustrated in Figure 4-26).
Figure 4-26. The Multi-Node Properties Window
To edit interface poll settings:
1. Open and activate the view which contains the nodes whose interface poll
settings you’d like to change, and use shift-click or ctrl-click to select the
appropriate nodes. (Or, if you’re using a Map View, you can click and drag to
select multiple icons.)
2. In the primary window menu bar, select Edit—>Properties.
or
In the toolbar, click the Properties icon.
or
Right-click on any one of the selected nodes, and on the resulting menu,
drag down to Properties.
Configure the settings as described in the previous section, keeping in mind that only poll
settings which are longer than the database poll cycle will have an effect on how often the
selected nodes’ status is updated. Note, too, that you cannot select a polling method via the
Multi-Node Properties window; this field will display the currently-set polling method (if
all selected nodes are using the same method), or “Mixed” if the selected nodes do not use
the same method.
