For more information about optimizing an additional polling engine configuration,
see "Managing SolarWinds UDT Polling Engines".
Note: During configuration, the Additional Polling Engine will shutdown temporarily
with the result that, if you are actively polling, you may lose some data. SolarWinds
recommends configuring polling engines during off-peak hours.
Changing Polling Engine Node Assignments
Reassigning nodes to new polling engines may be required in the following
situations:
n Moving or renaming your UDT server
n Merging two or more Servers
If these or any other conditions present the need for reassignment, complete the
following procedure to reassign nodes to a new polling engine.
To change a polling engine node assignment:
1.
Log in to the Orion Web Console as an administrator.
2. Click Settings in the top right of the web console.
3. Click Manage Nodes in the Node & Group Management grouping of the Orion
Website Administration page.
4.
Locate the node to manage using either of the following methods:
n Use the search tool above the node list to search your Orion Platform
database for the device you want to manage.
n Select an appropriate Group by criteria, and then click the appropriate
group including the node to manage.
5.
Check the node for which you want to change the polling engine.
6. Click More Actions, and then click Change Polling Engine.
7. Select the new polling engine, and then click Change polling engine.
Note: The current number of Assigned Objects is listed for each available polling
engine. This number is updated with each automatic polling engine synchronization.
Updates to the Assigned Objects count can only be completed for polling engines
that are operationally up.
