# Poller

A Poller is a configuration record which defines the frequency of polling and which logic to use (the logic itself is defined in the Poll Processor). Each time it is run, it creates a corresponding Poll Request record.

## New Poller

Click the **'Pollers' icon** & then **New**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Alternatively, you can edit the previously configured 'Update Poller' (changing the Poll Processor & Description). *(There is no need to have two pollers polling for updates every 5 minutes, so if creating a new Poller, remember to deactivate the previous one.)*
{% endhint %}

The fields to be configured for our Poller record are as follows:
