The Basic Device Health feature is turned on by default for all devices. This includes device monitoring of device 

availability, CPU, and memory. Basic Device Health is polled every 5 minutes by default, but you can customize 

this as well. The template is called Device Health - choose Design > Monitoring Configuration > Features > 

Metrics > Device Health. The parameters can be changed by clicking the polling value for that row as shown in 

the figure above. 

 TIP: 

Don’t forget to save the template after making the changes. The template will need to be republished and 

redeployed if changes are made. 

 

Interface Statistics are not enabled by default, as monitoring interfaces can get very tricky if not done correctly. 

Some business-critical device interfaces should be polled more often than others, so there is no "one size fits all" 

when it comes to monitoring interfaces. Interface polling can be very quickly enabled by using a predefined 

monitoring template. You can navigate to Design > Monitoring Configuration > Features > Metrics > Interface 

Health (shown below). Follow the same methodology to change the polling interval as mentioned for Device 

Health. You can see how interface availability is changed to every minute. 

 

Flexible monitoring templates enable users to customize how they monitor their network. You can create your own 

templates by navigating to Design > Custom SNMP Templates and selecting the MIB and the table as shown in 

the figure below. You can then see all the variables from the table. Select the ones you are interested in, and they 

will be now available for polling.
