Poll settings for ESM data collector

Based on the configurations on the ESM - Manager panel, the ESM data collector may sometimes initiate a policy run before the manager starts data collection.

In such a scenario, the ESM data collector uses the thread setting configurations to do the following:

The ESM manager allows only four concurrent policy runs in the starting state on the ESM manager. If you initiate the fifth policy run, the ESM manager displays the following error: Could not start job: server too busy. Reschedule job for a later time.

You can configure the following parameters for the ESM poll settings:

ESM manager polling seconds

Specify the interval period after which the ESM data collector should query the ESM manager to find the policy the completion status.

The default value is 30 seconds.

ESM policy run submit retry seconds

The ESM data collector re-submits a policy run if the data collector encounters an error when it starts the policy run. Specify the interval period after which the ESM data collector should try to re-submit a policy run on the ESM manager.

The default value is 300 seconds.
