Polling definitions describe what will be polled when a collector is running, and how it will be presented. In the first release of real-time charts, polling definitions are imported/exported via opcharts-cli and can be viewed in the GUI.
opCharts ships with several polling definitions that may be useful and can be used as a guide when creating new ones. These files can be found in omk/install/nmisd/pollers.d/
Polling definitions must define their name (which must be unique) and can optionally have a description. There are 5 main sections in a polling definition (see below).
Changing a polling definition is not currently supported, if you need to do this please create a new poller with a new name and start collectors using the new poller.

- Virtual Properties - definitions of new variables which can be calculations using properties, other virtual properties and collector paramtersparameters.
- Fields - values that will be polled every time the collector runs.
- Virtual Fields - definitions of new variables which can be calculations using fields, properties, virtual properties and collector parameters.
