Overview In this lab we will learn how we can get more granular data from the network by monitoring specific objects at a higher frequency

Review

This action should take immediate effect, so the easiest way to confirm this is by clicking on the name of the object.

This will bring us to a new page with the indicators monitored on that object, to see the difference between 1 minute polling and 5 seconds polling, click on the first widget (CPU Load) and that action will open a new window.

On that new window, on the only widget available click on the + symbol to extend the widget and then click on the gear -> Change Timespan -> Past 2 hours. This way we will have a better view of the data collected.
