From 1399e5f753256e7b5523f1eb260cdd7e95e80dee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?=C3=98yvind=20Harboe?= Date: Sun, 8 Aug 2010 09:14:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] target: if polling fails, back off MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit back-off algorithm for polling. Double polling interval up to 5000ms when it fails. when polling succeeds, reset backoff. This avoids flooding logs(as much) when working with conditions where the target polling will fail.
