What does the property mid.poll.time define?

The property mid.poll.time defines the default polling interval for MID (Micro Integration Data) instances. This is a critical configuration setting that determines how frequently the MID instances check in with the ServiceNow instance to receive updates or send data back. Setting the appropriate polling interval can ensure that the MID is synchronized with the core ServiceNow application, allowing for efficient and timely data processing.

When the polling interval is set correctly, it optimizes network usage and system performance by ensuring that information is exchanged at suitable intervals. This balance is essential for maintaining up-to-date information while minimizing the load on network resources. In scenarios where real-time data exchange is crucial, understanding this property helps administrators manage the frequency of communication effectively.
