Locate and check the node or interface you want to poll or locate and check the
node to rediscover, using either of the following methods:
n Use the search tool above the node list to search your Orion Platform
database.
n Select an appropriate Group by criteria, and then click the appropriate
group including either the node or interface you want to poll or the
node you want to rediscover.
5. If you want to poll the selected node or interface, click More Actions > Poll

Monitoring Windows Server Memory
When SolarWinds UDT polls a Windows server for CPU load and memory utilization, it
pulls the amount of physical memory to define the 100% level, and then it totals the
amount of memory in use by each allocation to compute what percentage of the
physical memory is in use. This can result in memory utilization readings over 100%,
as many applications pre-allocate memory and swap before it is actually needed. To
work around this, you can also add physical memory as a volume for these servers
within Orion Platform. When monitored as a volume, the values will be more in line
with your expectations.
Scheduling a Node Maintenance Mode Time Period
When you need to perform maintenance on a node or its components, such as
upgrading firmware, installing new software, or updating security, you may want to
discontinue polling while the device is down for maintenance. Disabling polling, or
setting a node status as Unmanaged, while performing node maintenance, maintains
the accuracy of your data and prevents unnecessary alert messages. For more
information about disabling node polling to perform node maintenance, see "Setting
Device Management States"
