Use the set command to change the polling period.

Use the monitor collect command to run a collection immediately, before its defined polling interval.

Use the set command to disable, or modify automatic polling for a monitor.

In the following example:

• The set command changes the period attribute to 0, disabling automatic polling
• The ll command displays the change:

  VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-2-1-B/monitors/director-2-1-B_TestMonitor> set period 0
  VPlexcli:/monitoring/directors/director-2-1-B/monitors/director-2-1-B_TestMonitor> ll
  Attributes:
  Name             Value
  ---------------  --------------------------------------------------------------
  average-period   -
  collecting-data  false
  firmware-id      4
  idle-for         5.78min
  ownership        true
  period           0s

To re-enable polling, use the set command to change the period attribute to a non-zero value.
