Executors

Use the Executors Settings page to view and change executor preferences for all executors. When you use a remote executor, the executor’s settings become available in the Executors list. The built-in local and Dask cluster executors are always available.

Dask

Poll Freq

How often, in seconds, the Dask cluster polls this executor type for status. Used in remote executors only (In the Local and Dask local executors, this value is set but not used.)
