# Polling

Set to `false` to prevent the Distributed Index Handler from periodically polling each job in the index queue to determine the jobs that are complete.

If `Polling` is to set `false`, the IndexerGetStatus action reports a job finished when a single child server reports the job finished; it does not wait for all the Distributed Index Handler children to report the job finished.

You can also configure the `Polling` parameter for individual child servers.

NOTE: If you turn off `Polling` in the `[Server]` section, DIH does not create polling threads for its child servers, and you cannot turn `Poling` on for individual child servers.

If `Polling` is set to `true` in the `[Server]` section, you can turn it off for individual child servers.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | True
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Server
