Hello,

I’m trying to expand VM monitoring interval. I have reconfigured these three values in /etc/one/oned.conf:

> MONITORING\_INTERVAL\_HOST = 850  
> MONITORING\_INTERVAL\_VM = 180  
> […]  
> IM\_MAD = [  
> NAME = “collectd”,  
> EXECUTABLE = “collectd”,  
> ARGUMENTS = “-p 4124 -f 5 -t 50 -i 600” ]

but with these values, each VM is monitored every minute. My purpose is to monitor every 10 minutes.

Why is my OpenNebula monitoring every minute?

Thanks.

You also need to reset the probes in the hypervisors. `onehost offline` and then `onehost enable`

OK, thanks… but I’m testing some new configuration values (like these) in a OpenNebula VM (running in VirtualBox) and, after configuring /etc/one/oned.conf and restarting “systemctl restart opennebula”, monitoring intervals have taken my new values. However, in my “OpenNebula production server”, no… I will reset the probes as you answer me.

Thanks.
