ossec.conf scan time

Hello,

I have multiple VPS running on a node with ASL. the ossec.conf tells <frequency>86400</frequency> scantime when ossec-syscheck will scan.
But it will hit all the VPS on the same time....., the disks are running bad because on all syscheck hitting the same time.

Now i can edit the ossec. conf on every machine and tell them the time <scan_time>00:05</scan_time>, but when asl -s -f will be run it's all gone!
And the default setting is again <frequency>86400</frequency>!!!

if i look in /var/asl/data/templates/template-ossec-server.conf i can't find anyting about frequency>86400</frequency>.

How the make <scan_time> permanent for the machines? to avoid hitting the disks at the same time?

Thnx in advanced

You may set this in ASL Web in the options tab of the File Integrity window.
