Polled

Polled Triggers fire on a timer. For example, the Trigger can fire every minute. When enabled, the trigger fires its first event when the Pipeline starts, and then based on the Interval setting. The Polled trigger fires empty events, and includes the time of the event in the metadata.

Interval

The amount of time elapsed between firing events. The trigger fires immediately when the pipeline starts and every interval thereafter.

If the amount of time it takes to process the pipeline event is greater than this interval then the next event will be delayed. For example, if a Polled Trigger fires every 1 second but it takes 5 seconds to process the generated event, then the trigger will only fire events every 5 seconds. In the event the Polled Trigger cannot fire events as fast as the specified interval, a warning will be displayed on the Polled Trigger indicating that it is generating events faster than the pipeline can process them.
