From the "Tips and Tricks" section of the hobbit help:


     I need the web-pages to update more frequently

The ~/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg defines the update interval for all of 
the Hobbit programs. The default is for network tests to run every 5 
minutes, and webpage updates to happen once a minute.

Note that if you run the /bbretest-net.sh/ tool on your network test 
server (this is the default for a new Hobbit server), then network tests 
that fail will run every minute for up to 30 minutes after the initial 
failure, so usually there is little need to change the update interval 
for your network tests.
