I have a device (and its only one in my entire Nagios setup) that I would liike to monitor every 20-30 seconds. How can I set a host config to do this?

Thank you,

Tom

Sub-minute checks is normally not supported as it can have adverse impact in performace, but if you must, there is a workaround that can accomplish this.

If you go to the CCM -> Hosts -> Edit host
Check Settings tab
set "Freshness threshold" to 15
set "Check freshness" On
Save
Apply configuration


With the default nagios.cfg settings, this will perform the check about every 15-30 seconds
