# Polling interval multiplier **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
The GitLab UI polls for updates for different resources (issue notes, issue titles, pipeline
|
|
statuses, and so on) on a schedule appropriate to the resource.
|
|
|
|
Adjust the multiplier on these schedules to adjust how frequently the GitLab UI polls for updates. If
|
|
you set the multiplier to:
|
|
|
|
- A value greater than `1`, UI polling slows down. If you see issues with database load from lots of
|
|
clients polling for updates, increasing the multiplier can be a good alternative to disabling
|
|
polling completely. For example, if you set the value to `2`, all polling intervals
|
|
are multiplied by 2, which means that polling happens half as frequently.
|
|
- A value between `0` and `1`, the UI polls more frequently so updates occur more frequently.
|
|
**Not recommended**.
|
|
- `0`, all polling is disabled. On the next poll, clients stop polling for updates.
|
|
|
|
The default value (`1`) is recommended for the majority of GitLab installations.
|
|
|
|
