About Groups Settings

On the Groups > Settings tab, you can configure Cloud Resource Polling.

Configuring the Groups Polling Interval

Lowering the polling interval can create more load on the Controller. The default setting should be sufficient.

The Aviatrix Controller runs a full inventory of your clouds every four hours, and then listens to events every minute to learn about updates to its resources. For example, if you modified your Cloud Tags, you may want to poll data more frequently so that CoPilot reflects those changes.

  1. In CoPilot go to Groups > Settings. The Cloud Resource Polling slider is On by default.

  2. Enter the desired polling interval in minutes (default is 15). This can be a value between 1-1440.

Fifteen minutes is the interval at which the Controller polls for updates to the SmartGroups.

Toggle off the Cloud Resource Polling slider if you do not want the Controller to periodically poll your cloud resources.

You can manually trigger a poll to fetch resources directly from your clouds by clicking Refetch Cloud Resources on the Groups > SmartGroups tab. The poll may take several minutes to complete depending on the size of your environment.
