Through performance testing, we have decided to increase the time agents wait before
sending up availability reports and we've increased the quiet time the server allows
between receiving avail reports before "backfilling" an agent (that is, marking
the platform and all of its resources down).
Now, the default will be 5 minutes between avail reports getting sent by the agent (this
is configurable, of course, on the agent via the
rhq.agent.plugins.availability-scan.period-secs preference).
The server will have a default quiet time of 15 minutes - again, configurable - its done
using the administration>server configuration>settings page.
I checked this into trunk - if anyone see problems let me know...
