Using Hangfire 1.5.3 with sql server. I recently put a trace on my database and notice there are various Hangfire commands running quite often, almost constantly, is this normal? I tried setting the QueuePollInterval to 60 seconds but that didn’t seem to matter. I have ~10 jobs. most only run 1x a day, a few every 5 minutes or so. Is this normal?

Well I don’t know if it’s normal, but I’m seeing the same activity. Obviously, the more tasks you schedule, the higher the activity level.

I have also come across a connection pooling problem if I try to utilise the HF connection string for anything else in my [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net) Webforms app. Easily fixed by adding a second connection, but surprising none the less.
