Was wondering....any one using a smaller time to poll (do tests) than the
default 5min ?

I have my new Xymon server currently @ 3min....sometimes 5 min just seems
to long when your waiting for the next poll and hoping a yellow or red
event is going to clear...

Other than a little more traffic and devices using a little more cpu
cycles I don't see a draw back....
I've used cron to schedule tests down to every 3 minutes, and in a couple
of cases, every 30 seconds...  Just grabbing web pages and reporting on
them.
