In order to change the Disk Task Interval you will have to do the following

  1. Stop all of your services from services.msc
  2. Navigate to Longitude\Applications\Windows\Collections.
  3. Open up the file Windows_Disk.xml in Wordpad or Notepad.
  4. You will need to edit the file to the schedule you want.. You can choose from EveryFifteen, EveryTwenty, EveryHalfHour, and EveryHour. Change the Italics to the schedule you would like modifying the interval to the number of seconds... (e.g. 3600 seconds per hour)
  5. ConsolidatorCollections Count="1"
    ConsolidatorCollection Agent="localhost" ScheduleName="EveryHour" Active="no" DataLifeDays="365" LastCollectionSuccess="no"
    Tolerance="0.1" SsTcpPort="7220"
    Collection ManagedDevice="sjb-main" Instance="Studio/" Component="Disk" Application="Windows"
    Client="moose.heroix.com" LastRetrieval="" >
    Schedule Name="EveryHour" Description="Every hour"
