Is there a way to increase frequency of update-status hook?

[timClicks (Tim McNamara)]

Yes there is . You’re looking for juju model-config .

This sets the frequency to once per minute:

juju model-config update-status-hook-interval=1m

It’s also possible to run code within the charm’s context outside of the hook cycle when you need even greater control:

What's the `update-status` Interval?

It’s actually possible to run things, via cron, within the charm’s context! You can see an example of a charm doing this in the glance-simplestreams-sync charm. There’s a python script that’s run via cron and does things like set unit status, querying relation data, and even updating relations!
