I know you can set the polling interval in cacti that short. I'm not sure if it's a good thing for your switches or for your management station though. As far as tracking micro bursts, it depends on what you mean by "microburst". Most monitoring software only shows data over a 5 minute average. This is also the default for the interface counters on the switch itself. It is also tough to watch the output discards counters if the burst isn't large enough to cause them. I've seen people resort to using perfmon or other software on the systems themselves to find problems. What kind of traffic are you looking at?
