No. check_interval itsself is a fork leftover which should be removed imho, but kept for compatibility reasons. As remarked in many questions - this is dangerous, as it affects not only *intervals. The better idea would be to just support floats (which it already does). Documenting that would possibly lead everyone to do so, not having the shortcomings in mind. Either way, pushing forward into the seconds level got some possible problems: - do the plugins return in time? (latency) - is the core capable of processing the amount of checkresults? - is the scheduler capable of having that many events (it does not only schedule checks) it's a single process application, and the amount of development ressources in changing that to a modern architecture lead also into Icinga2 being a start from scratch. addons may be a temporary workaround solution (e.g. for the check queueing), but the last 2 problems can only be solved within the core framework itsself. > > 2) Related question for Icinga-2: I noticed that you're going to change the > check intervals to just '#min' instead of the current setup (thanks btw).
