The polling method used by LibreNMS is `poller-wrapper.py`, which was placed in the public domain by its author. By default, the LibreNMS cronjob runs `poller-wrapper.py` with 16 threads. The current LibreNMS recommendation is to use 4 threads per core. The default if no thread count is `16 threads`.
If the thread count needs to be changed, you can do so by editing `librenms.cron` before copying (or by editing `/etc/cron.d/librenms` if you've already copied the cron file). Just add a number after `poller-wrapper.py`, as in the below example:
/opt/librenms/poller-wrapper.py 12 >> /dev/null 2>&1
Create the cronjob
cp librenms.cron /etc/cron.d/librenms
ln -s librenms.cron /etc/cron.d/librenms
