Hah. I see that I responded to the nagios-users list (where this is more
appropriate) when you sent to me directly. Here is the response that I
sent then --

Please always respond on-list so that others now, and in the future,
learn from your experience. More below...

interval_length is set in nagios.cfg and affects *all* intervals defined
in *all* host{}, service{}, contact{} definitions, etc.  See my prior
e-mail about this. For those intervals that you do not want to change,
you'll need to increase their values relative to how much you decreased
the interval_length.

interval_length is the basic unit for all time based operations in
nagios and is measured in seconds.

For example, if interval_length = 60 and you have 'normal_check_interval
1' in a service definition, that service will be checked every 60
seconds (interval_length * normal_check_interval).
If you set interval_length = 1 and you have 'normal_check_interval 1',
that service will now be checked every 1 second. To check it every 60
seconds, you'd need to change it to  'normal_check_interval 60'
If you set interval_length = 1 and you want to check a service every 5
minutes, you'll need to set 'normal_check_interval 300' (5 minutes ==
300 seconds)
