# Polling configuration **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
The GitLab UI polls for updates for different resources (issue notes, issue
|
|
titles, pipeline statuses, etc.) on a schedule appropriate to the resource.
|
|
|
|
To configure the polling interval multiplier:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu >** **{admin}** **Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Preferences**.
|
|
1. Expand **Real-time features**.
|
|
1. Set a value for the polling interval multiplier. This multiplier is applied
|
|
to all resources at once, and decimal values are supported:
|
|
|
|
- `1.0` is the default, and recommended for most installations.
|
|
- `0` disables UI polling completely. On the next poll, clients stop
|
|
polling for updates.
|
|
- A value greater than `1` slows polling down. If you see issues with
|
|
database load from lots of clients polling for updates, increasing the
|
|
multiplier from 1 can be a good compromise, rather than disabling polling
|
|
completely. For example, if you set the value to `2`, all polling intervals
|
|
are multiplied by 2, which means that polling happens half as frequently.
|
|
- A value between `0` and `1` makes the UI poll more frequently (so updates
|
|
show in other sessions faster), but is **not recommended**. `1` should be
|
|
fast enough.
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Save changes**.
