- Smart Polling
  - Smart Polling (Guardian only)
    Smart Polling actively contacts nodes to retrieve information for new nodes, and to enrich the information for existing nodes.
  - Strategies
    - Strategies overview
      Smart Polling strategies are network-based methods that directly reach the monitored assets with concise, safe and effective protocol-specific messages, enhancing visibility in the Nozomi Networks solution.
