[Bigsister-general] forcing the tests not to happen at once?

[Rob Verduijn <suppressed>]

Hi there,

I'm monitoring aproximatly 200 systems with bigsister.
And one if the tests that I do is a ping connection test once every 5
minutes to each system.
This results in a bit of a peak in network traffic when the ping test is
done.
And since some of my valued co-network administrators installed a
firewall with ping flood protection in place, I get a couple of red
dot's.
Well ok I have about 20 green dot's left because the firewall redirects
the bigger part of the ping traffic towards /dev/null.

This resulted in a very nice although slightly heated discussion between
me and aforementioned firewall administrator.

Bottem line is I need to figure out a way to spread the ping test out
over a bigger period of time.

Is this possible?

Regards
Rob

p.s. Due to some communications via upper management the firewall
configuration will be slightly adjusted for a limited period of time,
big sister will work again, but I was told to find another solution,
please help.
