Normally you would want to know if a service have recovered as soon as possible, I would have it check every 30 seconds if I could. It's especially important for people who are on call, receive a notification, resolve the issue, and then await confirmation of recovery, 5 minutes is a long wait.
A simple setting to set this interval sounds trivial and I would think almost required for a monitoring system. -- Tom Sommer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
