A computer program product for adjusting polling parameters, comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor, the program instructions comprising instructions for:
• polling an endpoint application using an initial polling quantity and an initial polling frequency;
• determining a first number of events not consumed in a queue of a listening application and a second number of events in a queue at the endpoint application at an end of a polling cycle;
• and
• adjusting at least one of the initial polling quantity and the initial polling frequency based, at least in part, on a comparison of the first number of events not consumed in the queue of the listening application and the second number of events in the queue at the endpoint application at the end of the polling cycle.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising instructions to perform a method comprising:
• polling an endpoint application using an initial polling quantity and an initial polling frequency;
• determining a first number of events not consumed in a queue of a listening application and a second number of events in a queue at the endpoint application at an end of a polling cycle;
• and
• adjusting at least one of the initial polling quantity and the initial polling frequency based, at least in part, on a comparison of the first number of events not consumed in the queue of the listening application and the second number of events in the queue at the endpoint application at the end of the polling cycle.
