How Can I Change ping Frequency to every 30 Seconds?
All;
I would like to modify ping to every 30 seconds over the next two weeks, I believe it is every 5 minutes as that is the frequency shown on my "conn" RRD graphs.
Is this possible? Is it possible to change the frequency for just one host and not all of my hosts?
Thank you!

Set the interval of the bbnet task in hobbitlaunch.cfg on your servers running this task. However, you may want to verify the trends on the graphs on the bbtest pages for these hosts first, to verify whether you have in the past been able to complete all network testing in that time reliably.

No, network testing intervals are not necessarily aligned to the RRD graph resolution.

No, only for the task. However, you can run multiple bbnet tasks, and have them test different devices ...

Thanks as always Buchan. Sine my server I am using is fairly new, the load and times to complete testing ar e all fine at the moment, so I've gone ahead and modified bbnet in hobbitlaunch.cfg to a 1 min. interval.

How, and where can I make sure that rrd graphs are regenerating at the same interval, or at least every 2 minutes?

You can use rrdtool to dump out the contents of the rrd.
cd /var/lib/xymon/rrd/<host>
rrdtool dump <check>.rrd | less

So, that's confirmed that I am generating a graph once per minute:
<!-- 2010-02-09 10:25:00 EST / 1265729100 --> <row><v>2.5375000000e-03</v></row> <!-- 2010-02-09 10:30:00 EST / 1265729400 --> <row><v>5.2093333333e-03</v></row> <!-- 2010-02-09 10:35:00 EST / 1265729700 --> <row><v>2.6782333333e-03</v></row> <!-- 2010-02-09 10:40:00 EST / 1265730000 --> <row><v>5.6797666667e-03</v></row> <!-- 2010-02-09 10:45:00 EST / 1265730300 --> <row><v>4.2973333333e-03</v></row> <!-- 2010-02-09 10:50:00 EST / 1265730600 --> <row><v>3.7946000000e-03</v></row>
Now, how do I reset this to every two minutes?
Thanks again,

If you want the rrd to be updated every 2 minutes then you will have to create the rrd yourself manually. Xymon will be default set the step to 5 minutes and there does not seem to be a way of changing that.
rrdtool create <file>.rrd --step 120 DS:Normal:COUNTER:1200:0:U
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 RRA:MAX:0.5:6:2400 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:2400
Make sure you change the ownership to xymon:xymon after creating it.

Thanks Scott, I'll script something...
