Setting the Polling Frequency
Fabric View updates the graphs once per second by default. To change this
polling frequency, do the following:
1. Open the Graph menu, and select Set Polling Frequency to open the Set
Graph Polling Frequency dialog.
2. Enter the new polling interval in seconds [1–60]. Fabric View will update the
graphs once during the interval. For example, setting the polling frequency
to 5 seconds will return 1 second’s worth of data every 5 seconds.
3. Click the OK button to save the changes.
