Hello,
Our primary reason for this polling strategy is to have consistent reporting in the dashboards. We show graphs based on primary locations statistics in our dashboards. When we do round-robin monitoring,tt might have more fluctuating graph rather than smooth one. Do you think that is fine ?
Following are the other options:
- Do uptime monitoring alone from secondary locations more frequently
- Do one another secondary location check along with primary location
- Allow to define additional primary locations for a monitor and do polling on configured intervals
- As you suggested provide current option along with option to choose round robin polling option
What would you prefer in the above.
We shall think on the probable enhancement here.

Just a comment on an undocmumented "feature" that I found out about today. All secondary checks currently happen every 30 minutes.
Hello Damian,
You're right. In general, the primary location checks are based on the frequency set by the user, and the secondary locations poll every 30 minutes (we call it Hourly Poll - Polling from all secondary Locations twice an hour), by default. We'd encourage you to read our Kbase article to learn more about Site24x7's intelligent polling logic.
However, you can always get a higher and/or same poll frequency (as your primary location) for your secondary test location too; just switch to our special Enterprise Custom Plan by contacting Site24x7 Support.

Abhiram
Thanks for the info @Abhiram. As of yesterday when I was speaking wtih Support they were not aware of this being documented anywhere, hence my comment. Was this KB just updated to reflect this or did Support just not have the information available?
Also - This forum post is all in regards to the ability to do
round robin or other frequency/methods of checks with the
secondary monitors. It sounds like this feature partially already
exists but only for an additional fee or custom plan?
Hello Damian,
Sorry for any wrong inference that could have been concluded from my above statement. Site24x7 entirely applies a predictable polling from a location logic to ensure a uniform and intelligible reporting. We do not offer a Round Robin based monitoring since it gives too many spikes between polls because of latency differences due to different geographical conditions.

Abhiram
