# GetChildStatusMode

Determines when the Distributed Index Handler sends GetStatus actions to its child server. Use this setting when the Distributed Index Handler is running in non-mirror mode to distribute documents dynamically across a bank of child servers based on user-specified document limits.

Set to `async` to send a GetStatus action to child server at every PingInterval. Set to `command` to send a GetStatus action with every index action.
