Running a Master Collection

You can optionally have the NMIS polling cycle do the master collection, or you can run it separately from Cron.  If you want to have it seperate which is a good option, change the following NMIS configuration item nmis_master_poll_cycle to be false in the file /usr/local/nmis8/conf/Config.nmis:

'nmis_master_poll_cycle' => 'false',

Then add this line to the crontab which runs your nmis collections.

*/2 * * * * /usr/local/nmis8/bin/nmis.pl type=master

This will get your collections running every 2 minutes regardless of other polling.  There is also an option called master_sleep which is so that your type=update and type=master can run every 1 minute and still have data, the default offset is 15.

Conclusion

After refreshing the web pages on the NMIS Master server you will see the data from the slaves.
