[Xymon] sslcert test frequency

[john.r.rothlisberger at accenture.com]

Yes, that is true if I was also checking the status of the connection or content.  In this case, all I care about is the sslcert.  I would prefer not to do any more tests then necessary - in this case maybe 4 times per day.

Thanks,
John

The sslcert check is essentially "free" - whenever you connect to an
https-webserver, the certificate is provided as part of the SSL
handshake. So there really is no overhead involved in checking this
every 5 minutes.
