No. That's Big Brother thinking, and you're running Hobbit.
There is no one-to-one correspondance between the client-side script and the cpu/disk/memory etc. tests that shows up on the Hobbit display, since the latter is generated on the Hobbit server from several of the data items that the client-side script collects.
What I want to do is to change the frequency of the CPU survey without changing anything for the other tests.
You can modify the clientlaunch.cfg to run the full Hobbit client script every minute, but that would probably break your log-monitoring (log events would expire in 6 minutes instead of 30), and the vmstat data would probably be affected as well.
Besides which, it doesn't really make much sense. The CPU load reported is the 5-minute average from your OS anyway. And do you really want a sudden spike to trigger full alerts? Just because someone happened to run "find" in the wrong directory?
