Does the reporting time interval in the crontab need to match the account level ie 30 minute, 10 minutes, or 3 minutes?

Virginian,

It needs to be at or above the interval – for example, on the free plan, you can report back to scout at most once every 30 minutes. So, you could run it at 31 minutes, 40 minutes – anything at or above 30 minutes.

I am on the free plan but have cron set up to run every 10 minutes. It seems to be working, what happens if we leave it this way? It would be nice if we could run it more frequently to take advantage of scripts that monitor and restart services, but have it only accept reports at the time intervals allowed.

Randy, that’s an excellent suggestion. It will work now, but we may in the future decide not to accept report data on the time interval. Thanks!
