Hi Karthik:

when it is triggered.

It would be easy for InterMapper to miss a 30-second transition if you're
polling every minute.

There are a couple things you might do:

-       You could set the polling rate faster (poll interval smaller) on that 
device.
To do this,  Set Info... Set Poll Interval to a shorter time.

But this could be bad, because all these queries could make your router busy,
trying to catch what I assume is a relatively rare event.

-       Another thought would be to see if the router could send InterMapper a 
trap
that there was a VRRP change. InterMapper will immediately re-poll the router,
and will discover and act on the change.

You could also extend your probe to process the information contained in the
trap. You can read more about this at
