How to : How To Change OS Management Hub checkUpdatesInterval value.

Solution:

The default checkUpdatesInterval is 300 seconds but it's configurable for any value >= 10 second.

To change the value then the osmh-agent configuration file should be modified in location /var/lib/oracle-cloud-agent/plugins/oci-osmh/osmh-agent/stateDir/config.yml and look for checkUpdatesInterval to change to your desired value.

Here is an example.

$ cat /var/lib/oracle-cloud-agent/plugins/oci-osmh/osmh-agent/stateDir/config.yml

agent:

    debug: false

    checkInterval: 120

    cliTimeout: 7200

    miTimeout: 300

    isALXImage: false

    checkUpdatesInterval: 300

    updateCooldown: 300

$

If checkUpdatesInterval is set to 300 seconds, the system will automatically check for updates every 5 minutes.
