Ping/URl Get Test
You can tag that host in the
bb-hosts with NET:location and then add another bbtest-net running every 5
seconds and with $BBLOCATION defined to the same "location" tag defined in the
bb-hosts file.
from man bb-hosts
NETWORK TEST
SETTINGS
NET:location
This tag defines the host as being tested from a specific location. If bbtest-net sees that the environ-
ment variable BBLOCATION is set, it will only test the hosts that have a matching "NET:location" tag in the
bb-hosts file. So this tag is useful if you have more than one BBNET system, but you still want to keep a
consolidated bb-hosts file for all your systems.

from man bbtest-net
USING MULTIPLE NETWORK TEST
SYSTEMS
If you have more than one system running network tests - e.g. if your network is separated by firewalls - then is
is problematic to maintain multiple bb-hosts files for each of the systems. bbtest-net supports the NET:location
tag in bb-hosts(5) to distinguish between hosts that should be tested from different network locations. If you set
the environment variable BBLOCATION e.g. to "dmz" before running bbtest-net, then it will only test hosts that
have a "NET:dmz" tag in bb-hosts. This allows you to keep all of your hosts in the same bb-hosts file, but test
different sets of hosts by different BBNET systems.

All,
I have my Hobbit set to poll the hosts every 5
minutes, but I have a
case where I want to run a test and want a single host
to be polled
every 5 seconds is that possible??
I want to have
a conn and http test poll a single server every 5
seconds, but i
want the other devices to be on the regular schedule of
5
minutes.
any ideas??
thanx,
michael
