There is no default settings, it must be explicitly set. The value depends on your needs - to detect errors quickly, faster poll cycle is better (for example "set daemon 5" will poll each 5 seconds). If you want to reduce overhead, you can poll for example each 30 seconds: "set daemon 30" (or more)
