Enable Multi-Agent Mode |  | | Multi-Agent mode is the recommended mode of operation for WakeUp. Ensure this is enabled to support functionality such as Last Man Standing and WakeUp Success Reporting. NoteIf you modify this parameter, you must restart the WakeUp server. | ||||||||||||
Polling Interval | | | The time in seconds between database scans. This parameter is also used to define the period between wake ups (default is 30 seconds). WakeUp looks for new advertisements or jobs added since the last scan and actions them according to other service settings. | ||||||||||||
Maximum Wakeups per polling interval | | | Sets the maximum number of magic packets to be sent per poll interval (default is 1000 wake ups per polling interval). This should be set based on the maximum number of systems likely to require waking in one hour of advertisement processing. This figure also depends on the poll interval itself and should be set in order to make it possible to process all outstanding wake up requests within one hour. For example:
| ||||||||||||
Maintenance Window Polling (x times Polling Interval) |  |
| This parameter sets the time interval between Maintenance Window check cycles. Value of this parameter times value in Polling Interval seconds will be the time interval for Maintenance Window check cycles. | ||||||||||||
