NMIS Poll Cycle Overview
NMIS performs two main operations periodically, collect and update. An update is really a node discovery, and determines what a node can do and how it should be managed. Updates are performed infrequently, usually just once a day. The collect operation on the other hand is the 'work horse' of NMIS where the main SNMP and other protocol polling activity happens. Collects are performed every 5 minutes by default.
Depending on your configuration, the thresholding and summary processes will run with the main collect operation or can be run seperatelyseparately; details about that separation can be found in the article Scaling NMIS Polling.
