Polling Searches on GHE

How can you determine what is polling your GitHub Enterprise system? If you suspect polling, this data will help you pinpoint where it is coming from. Don't just tell your users "stop polling", get the data and tell them where it is coming from.

Number of requests in 10 minute intervals

When reviewed over a 24-hour period, consistent numbers in non-peak hours indicates likely polling with short intervals. Longer polling intervals also stand out, often as a burst of high traffic each hour on the hour.

10:15 < mkent_> node[:network][:interfaces][:eth1][:addresses]
22:24 <+Damm> msf, just pulling in the node[:network][:interfaces] attributes
20:44 < randybias> node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses]
09:13 < sinBot> so fujin if I wanted to use that in an erb template, it'd be <%= @node[:network][:interfaces]["en1"]["addresses"].select{address}.flatten.to_str %> ?
12:27 < cwj> if i have an ipv4 ip address set on eth0, will it always be in @node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][1] ?
02:19 < pluesch0r> however, i don't seem to be able to access @node[:network][:interfaces]... from inside the attributes file.
19:52 <@jtimberman> or node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses][0]
20:09 < seryl> well, it's searchable. I'm trying the @node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses][0] route, but getting blanks right now, playing around with it in chef solo
