Control azure webjobs queue scan frequency

Question

Azure webjobs invoked when new messages arrive to input queues (on storage or service bus). Is it possible to control frequency of queues scanning?

Answer 1

You can use the MaxPollingInterval setting:

Gets or sets the longest period of time to wait before checking for a message to arrive when a queue remains empty.

Here's how you can set this up:

JobHostConfiguration configuration = new JobHostConfiguration();
configuration.Queues.MaxPollingInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);

Note that this interval is only used to check form messages when the queue remains empty.
