Related to your similar post about web gui refresh rates, checking all of your services and hosts every 30 seconds is going to slow things down on all but the smallest of environments. I would strongly suggest moving *only* the most critical checks to 30 seconds, and to do so sparingly.

You can edit the check interval in the host config file:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... .html#host

You want to set the check_interval setting. The same can be done for services.
