Composite tests are composed of the device's individual tests. How are each tests' frequency taken into account?
1. Are each test polled according to their individual frequency and the resulting values used in the composite test at the composite test frequency?
2. Are each test polled at the composite test frequency only?
3. Are each test polled according to their individual frequency and also at the composite test frequency?

Hello,

Each test is configured with it's own polling interval and is executed independently. However, when one or more tests are assigned to a composite test, their polling interval is changed to match the interval of the composite test. This is why you are no longer able to alter the polling interval for the "real" tests while they are assigned to a composite test. This also ensures that the composite test has most up to date information before the configured formula is evaluated.
