## Distributed Polling
Distributed polling is possible. The database must be acessable from the distributed pollers, and properly configured. Remote access to the RRD directory must also be configured as described in the Distributed Poller documentation. Memcache is not required. Concurrency is managed using mysql GET_LOCK to ensure that devices are only being polled by one device at at time. The poller service is compatible with poller groups.
Distributed polling is possible, and uses the same configuration options as are described for traditional distributed polling, except that the memcached options are not necessary. The database must be acessable from the distributed pollers, and properly configured. Remote access to the RRD directory must also be configured as described in the Distributed Poller documentation. Memcache is not required. Concurrency is managed using mysql GET_LOCK to ensure that devices are only being polled by one device at at time. The poller service is compatible with poller groups.
## Service Installation
The service is tested on Ubuntu 14.04. An upstart configuration `poller-service.conf` is provided. To install copy this file to `/etc/init/poller-service.conf`. The service will start on boot and can be started manually by running `start poller-service`. The service is configured to run as the user `librenms` and will fail if that user does not exist.
