Hey guys,
It's been a couple of years since I've used hobbit.   The search
function isn't giving me the answer I'm looking for, so I thought I'd
post and some insightful person would answer :)

 Where do I change the polling cycle from 300 to 60 seconds (or less)?
   Also, what about the webpage generator?

 I do understand that the RRD Graphs are going to be messed up, and
possibly some other stuff may get wonky, but I'm going to have a
minimal of items to monitor, just need the quicker notification of
something of being down.

Thanks in advance,
--Pat

Change the interval for the bbtest-net program in etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg.  The
same thing for the webpage generation. The RRD graphs will be fine, RRD
won't accept data that won't fit into one of its slots, so it will just drop
the extraneous data. This will cause error messages in the rrd log file.
Make sure its in your log file rotation.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
