Changing the VCS polling interval when post-commit hooks are configured

Question

1. VCS Post-Commit Hooks are configured for a VCS Root.
2. As described in the documentation, it increased the periodic polling interval to 4 hours.

Is there a way to change this interval?

Answer

There are the following internal properties:

• teamcity.modificationChecker.maxChangesCheckingIntervalSecs which is 4*3600 by default.
• teamcity.modificationChecker.minChangesCheckingIntervalWithHookSecs which is 15*60 by default.

When a commit hook arrives, TeamCity increases the current polling interval for the VCS root by a factor of two:

• If the result is less than the minimum (teamcity.modificationChecker.minChangesCheckingIntervalWithHookSecs), it is set to that minimum.
• If the result exceeds the maximum (teamcity.modificationChecker.maxChangesCheckingIntervalSecs), it is set to that maximum.

These internal properties can be overridden.
