I need to monitor port 8888 on one of my servers. Currently I have this setup and working fine. What I need to do is redurce the time to every minute. Im guessing I need to drop the INTERVAL down on the client to 1m so it send the client file to the hobbit server every minute. What do I need to change on the Hobbit server to read the clients data every minute for the port stats? Is it as simple as adding the port:60 to the servers entry in the bb-hosts file?
Thanks

From memory this can be done by spawning a second bbnet instance and setting its time to a lesser value, and then using the BBLOCATION flag in the hosts file against a particular host so ONLY that host gets tested on the more frequent time.
Not entirely sure if you can set a second location for only one test for example host=xyz.acme.com and your testing http smtp ftp but you ONLY want http tested every 60 secs and the rest the default 5
Hopefully someone can expand on it or at least give you the right idea of where to look. There is a thread in the arvhice with thre subject "fping tuning" Dated towards the end of April this year that might help you out more
