Checks arent frequent enough

[zack kenton]

Hi list

Will probably seem like a stupid and/or easy question, but my checks arent frequent enough. I have a disk health check and it told me there was a bad disk on a server one day after the server crashed from this bad disk. I know this has to do with normal check interval and retry check interval. Take for example normal_check_interval 300...where is it defined that 300 is seconds and not minutes? And is retry_check_interval the amount of time it checks after a failed check? Should i prioritize my services and comb through each one and set the important ones to every minute and less important ones to like once or twice a day. Just trying to get a better grasp on the whole check frequency. thanks
