| Item | Name | Description |
|---|
| A | Value | The number of units to wait in between polling windows. The value, when resolved with the unit type, must be less than 24 hours of time. |
| B | Unit | The unit of time to use in conjunction with the value to determine how long to wait in between polling windows. Available units are:
- Milliseconds
- Seconds
- Minutes
- Hours
|
| C | Advanced | Enables configuring day-of-week / day-of-month settings and time ranges. |
Note: Only one polling window is ever active at any given time for a given source connector. For example, if you have a channel set to poll every 5 seconds, but a single message takes 6 seconds to process, a new polling job will not begin while the first one is still working. In this example the "effective" polling interval would be 10 seconds, because every other poll trigger gets skipped.
Note: The interval does not "start counting down" from the time when the channel is deployed/started. Instead, it starts on a consistent schedule based on the start of the time range set in the Advanced Settings (or 12:00 AM if the default value of All Day is selected).
Example: To poll every hour on the hour, you can leave the advanced settings as their defaults (All Day range), and choose 1 hour for your interval.
Example: To poll every hour on the 30 minute mark (12:30, 1:30, etc.), leave the interval as 1 hour, and set the Active Time Range to 12:30 AM - 11:30 PM.
