Different polling frequency for certain graphs

We are using the standard polling frequency of 5min, which is fine for normal (customer) interfaces. But regarding core interface (in our MPLS network) 5 min polling type does not show short outages etc.
Is there any way to poll certain graphs (e.g. limited number with a certain tag) with another frequency (e.g. 1 min), Or do I have to have a another observium instance for that?

1 min won't show short outages either.
Don't start chasing the magic dragon.

That's what SNMP traps are for!

Sure, but e.g. changing metric on core links and having two wait 10 min to see the (propper) effect (two polling cycles) v.s 2 min when the polling cycle is 1 min. That is a big difference. And I really not need to poll customers interfaces with 1 min, 5 min is fine for that.

We use the realtime graphs under those scenarios.
You can get a nice 10sec polling (or less if your device sports it) graph to see immediate changes.
