+ <question><para> I'm noticing in the logs that a &lslon; is frequently
+ switching in and out of <quote>polling</quote> mode as it is
+ frequently reporting <quote>LISTEN - switch from polling mode to use
+ LISTEN</quote> and <quote>UNLISTEN - switch into polling
+ mode</quote>. </para> </question>
+ 
+ <answer><para> The thresholds for switching between these modes are
+ controlled by the configuration parameters <xref
+ linkend="slon-config-sync-interval"> and <xref
+ linkend="slon-config-sync-interval-timeout">; if the timeout value
+ (which defaults to 10000, implying 10s) is kept low, that makes it
+ easy for the &lslon; to decide to return to <quote>listening</quote>
+ mode.  You may want to increase the value of the timeout
+ parameter. </para>
