I have to ask. What could you possibly do in 5 seconds to correct any failure situation that you might discover monitoring at that frequency. IMHO, you interval sould never be shoerter than the minimum time to correct a problem.

What could you possibly be interested in at 5 second intervals?

Subject: [Nagios-users] service checks interval

Hello

	I already read and re-read documentation about the parameters
service_interleave_factor, normal_check_interval, freshness_treshould,
status_update_interval, command_check_interval, sleep_time,
inter_check_delay_method, service_reapear_frequency,
freshness_check_interval and other timeouts parameters.

	I test with some values based on number of services and hosts and I test
too using "s" (smart) in inter_delay_check_method and
service_interleave_factor. But the interval in which a service was checked
are some variant values betwen 10 and 20 seconds.

	I´m suposing a hipotetical situation that I have to monitoring critical
services in a LAN enviroment and I using Nagios in a box with P4-1.8GHz
processor with 128 MB of RAM, the minumum interval of fresh information in
theory is the status_update_interval parameter, that have a minimum of 5
seconds, I´m correct or wrong about this?

	What values I have to use to guarantee this minimum interval of 5 seconds
or at least 10 seconds,?

	This is possible?


	Sorry about my poor english, I´m trying to improve it and not sleep. :)
