Add a node to a Smart Polling plan

The Nodes page lets you add a node to an existing Smart Polling plan.

The Smart Polling icon only shows if Smart Polling is present.

In the top navigation bar, select icon > Network.
The Network page opens.
Select Nodes.
The Nodes page opens.
To add a node to a plan with an optionally different configuration from the plan's original one, in the Actions column, to the left of the applicable node, select the icon.
A dialog shows.
From the Select an existing plan to add the node to dropdown, select an existing plan to that you would like to add the node to.
Optional: In the Timeout (seconds) field, enter a value to override the value in the current plan.
Optional: To poll the node immediately, set the Poll node immediately toggle to on.

Note: If you do not set the Poll node immediately toggle to on, the node will be polled at the next execution of the selected plan.
