Hi
Hope you could help me on how to configure the check interval to 5 seconds for a specified host/services in Nagios XI. As per checking the default format is in minutes.
Thank you.

Hi
@brezner,
There is an option in the main configuration file
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg the defines the unit interval used for timing checks. The default value is 60, but you can reduce this if desired. However, it is not typical to go below 60 seconds.

nagios.cfg does allow you to set the
interval_length which is 60 seconds by default. This is a global setting so if you do make this change you'll need to edit the other hosts/services to make sure their settings are changed accordingly as well.
This has the potential of increasing the load on the machine and as configuration page point out, not really messed with so proceed with caution.
The nagios.cfg can be updated through the web UI under Configure > Core Config Manager > CCM Admin > Core Configs.
