Fwd: [hobbit] how to monitor switches and increase the polling time

[Maik Heinelt]

2nd case...
Well, even if a server reboot between the polling time, Xymon should 
notice it.
In case of a Linux/Unix server, the uptime, which you can see at the CPU 
data will change and will show you an alert.
So increasing the polling time, is not really necessary, I think.

If you wanna get noticed of the behavior, you might should add an alert, 
to get an email/SMS, if a machine rebooted.
