[hobbit] How Can I Change ping Frequency to every 30 Seconds?

[Scott Ryan]

If you want the rrd to be updated every 2 minutes then you will have
to create the rrd yourself manually.
Xymon will be default set the step to 5 minutes and there does not
seem to be a way of changing that.

# rrdtool create <file>.rrd --step 120 DS:Normal:COUNTER:1200:0:U
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:2400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:2400

Make sure you change the ownership to xymon:xymon after creating it.
