To set the polling intervalThe service status of various Microsoft® SQL Server™ components is monitored regularly by SQL Server Enterprise Manager and SQL Server Service Manager. Both allow the monitoring interval to be changed.
You can set the interval at which SQL Server Enterprise Manager checks the status of SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, Full-Text Search (Microsoft Search), SQL Mail, Replication Monitor, and Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) to determine whether they are running, paused, or stopped. The status of each service is displayed through its icon in the console tree of Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
You can set the interval at which SQL Server Service Manager checks the status of SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, Microsoft Search (Full-Text Search), and MS DTC to determine whether they are running, paused, or stopped. The status of each service is displayed by clicking the SQL Server Service Manager icon in the Microsoft Windows® taskbar.
