discovery manager checks
The Abiquo Discover Manager (NARS) is an Abiquo remote service. The Abiquo Infrastructure check verifies the platform infrastructure at intervals. It does this by connecting to all of the hypervisors on all of the Abiquo racks and all of the public cloud regions, and their VMs, to compare them against the information recorded in the Abiquo database.
...
You can configure the discovery manager as described below using the Abiquo configuration properties#nars.
Multiple threads
The Abiquo Discovery Manager has a pool of plugin-clients. Each plugin-client connection checks different machines in the infrastructure. You can configure the number of plugin-clients with abiquo Abiquo properties. This number should be related to the number of cores of the server that is running discovery manager service.
Discarded
...
machines
If a physical machine cannot be contacted within the timeout period, it is discarded by the infrastructure check. Machines that are discarded are logged in the Abiquo logs (nars NARS and catalinaCatalina.out) with the message "not checked again".
Maximum
...
duration
The maximum duration of the infrastructure check is the same as the infrastructure check timeout value.
Delay
...
between checks
After the check has completed, the Discovery Manager waits for the delay period before starting a new check. You can set the delay with abiquo propertiesAbiquo properties. The default delay period is 5 minutes.
Check
...
frequency
The time between checks is equal to the duration of the check plus the delay between checks. So you may be able to increase the frequency of the infrastructure checks by decreasing the timeout value.

virtual system monitor for public cloud
Polling frequency per cloud provider
You can configure the delay between VSM polling of virtual machines in milliseconds in a cloud provider plugin with the abiquo.vsm.pollingfrequency.<cloudprovider> property.
VM sync frequency per cloud provider
You can configure the delay between virtual machine synchronizer operations in milliseconds in a cloud provider plugin with the abiquo.vsm.vmsyncfrequency.<cloudprovider> property.
Actor creation delay
You can configure the delay in milliseconds added between the creation of actors for a cloud provider plugin type on VSM startup with the abiquo.vsm.actor.creation.delay.<cloudprovider> property.
