Normal_check_interval of 2 would correspond to 60 seconds, etc. Note that adjusting this value affects everything that depends on timing so you'll need to adjust repeat notification intervals, escalations, etc appropriately. You can grep the docs for interval_length to get a list. -- Marc Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Quick question: I take it things like "retention_update_interval" and "command_check_interval" in nagios.cfg are also affected by this? Or do they always work in minutes? (the comments say minutes..) The comments by "interval_length" seem to indicate this variable only affects "host/contact/service configuration files"... -h </body> </html>
