hi

--lookback
The amount of time you want to look back when calculating average rates.
Use it for mode interface-errors or interface-usage. Without --lookback
the time between two runs of check_nwc_health is the base for calculations.
If you want your checkresult to be based for example on the past hour,
use --lookback 3600.

Hi,

if you can observe the watch-fexes usage its saying use --lookup can you please reply what is the usage of lookup only.

watch-fexes (Check if FEXes appear and disappear (use --lookup))

Hi

use --lookup in the usage appears to be a mistake that's why
I suggested the --lookback

Again, we did not create this plugin, so you should see if
the author of the plugin can help you:
