polling period in hobbit

[Engineering]

I am experiencing problems with the paging not sending out alerts in time.
In looking at the "conn" column, I would assume that if the device has
missed 3 poll periods than the seconds that would have elapsed would be
180sec.  Being that my poll period I thought was 60 seconds for conn.  Here
is a host that had an issue lastnight:

 

Service conn on gsoncit-jws-nsc-1 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping

 

 

System unreachable for 3 poll periods (348 seconds)

 

 

I looked at the "bbtest" column and here are my stats:
