# Polling configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GitLab UI polls for updates for different resources (issue notes, issue
|
|
|
|
|
titles, pipeline statuses, etc.) on a schedule appropriate to the resource.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In "Application settings -> Real-time features" you can configure "Polling
|
|
|
|
|
interval multiplier". This multiplier is applied to all resources at once,
|
|
|
|
|
and decimal values are supported. For the sake of the examples below, we will
|
|
|
|
|
say that issue notes poll every 2 seconds, and issue titles poll every 5
|
|
|
|
|
seconds; these are _not_ the actual values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 1 is the default, and recommended for most installations. (Issue notes poll
|
2019-02-22 08:17:10 -05:00
|
|
|
every 2 seconds, and issue titles poll every 5 seconds.)
|
2017-04-10 10:52:25 -04:00
|
|
|
- 0 will disable UI polling completely. (On the next poll, clients will stop
|
2019-02-22 08:17:10 -05:00
|
|
|
polling for updates.)
|
2017-04-10 10:52:25 -04:00
|
|
|
- A value greater than 1 will slow polling down. If you see issues with
|
2019-02-22 08:17:10 -05:00
|
|
|
database load from lots of clients polling for updates, increasing the
|
|
|
|
|
multiplier from 1 can be a good compromise, rather than disabling polling
|
|
|
|
|
completely. (For example: If this is set to 2, then issue notes poll every 4
|
|
|
|
|
seconds, and issue titles poll every 10 seconds.)
|
2017-04-10 10:52:25 -04:00
|
|
|
- A value between 0 and 1 will make the UI poll more frequently (so updates
|
2019-02-22 08:17:10 -05:00
|
|
|
will show in other sessions faster), but is **not recommended**. 1 should be
|
|
|
|
|
fast enough. (For example, if this is set to 0.5, then issue notes poll every
|
|
|
|
|
1 second, and issue titles poll every 2.5 seconds.)
