Larry,
This is actually pretty simple;-)
With the polling set as you have it:
netmon will poll each device once every three minutes, it will
wait 5 seconds for a reply and will try a total of 4 times per
device if there are any failures.
For the question about how netmon polls(sequential vs simultaneous),
the answer is yes. Netmon has a fixed(but configurable) number of
threads available for polling, for each ICMP and SNMP. So netmon will
poll X number of devices at the same time and then all devices as it gets
around to them.
To see the list of devices being polled you can run:
netmon -a 12 (to see what netmon is polling via ICMP)
netmon -a 16 (to see what netmon is polling via SNMP)
This information will be stored in the /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace file.
That being said, you might find looking through 17,000 IP addresses
a bit tedious;-)

Gentlemen,
I have gone through tons of info in list on this
topic. But i just need a simple answer for my
configuration. I have set timeout=5 retries=3
polling=3m. Now can some one tell how the polling
works in this case? how does netmon poll fo rup and
down's?
My second question is, I have about 17,000 interfaces
to be polled in my DB. Does the polling to all these
interfaces happens sequentially or simulataneously?
How can i check if all my nodes are being polled? Is
there a way to see all of my nodes are polled?
I'm really exhausted looking into this.
Please could someone help me?
Many Thanks as usual.
Larry
