Hi,
when using hostmonitor for monitoring some critical devices we've setup a polling interval of 5 seconds (mostly ping tests). Will have this a large impact on the overall performance of the network or is the overhead of ping tests very small ?

Short polling interval
It depends on your network performance and amount of tests. Usually ping test does not produce high traffic, and I think ICMP packets has lower priority than TCP packets. Also it depends what packet size do you use for the test, you can specify packet size on Ping/Trace page in the Options dialg.
