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.

Strategies

Smart Polling strategies use various protocols to gain visibility in the network by directly contacting the monitored assets upon the user's configuration or through the cooperation with Discovery.

For these strategies to work effectively, it is occasionally necessary to introduce credentials or other settings into the Smart Polling configuration, to make sure the Nozomi sensor has a network access to the monitored assets, and that the firewalls don't block the communications.

Availability on Arc and Guardian

Most Smart Polling strategies are supported on both Arc and Guardian platforms, although some are platform-specific. For each protocol, the guide specifies availability details to help with deployment planning.
