Smart Polling overview

Smart Polling actively contacts nodes to retrieve information for new nodes, and to enrich the information for existing nodes.

Smart Polling lets you create plans and define polling instructions for Guardian to use. For example, you can define:

Polling for specific nodes
Polling for specific times
The methods to use
Note:
For example, use the EtherNet/IP protocol to poll known programmable logic controller (PLC)s in the subnet 192.168.38.0/24 every hour.

Guardian uses the data that Smart Polling extracts to enrich its knowledge about the assets in the environment. For example:

PLC nodes polled using the EtherNet/IP protocol are enriched with information, such as vendor, device type, or serial number in Assets or Network
Windows computers polled using the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) protocol provide a list of the installed software in the Node points tab
Linux machines polled using secure shell (SSH) show in Assets and Network with the exact name of the distribution and their uptime
