How often does Concourse check resource versions?

Question

From the Concourse docs

A new version can be found in an external resource by the check component of a resource finding a new set of versions when it runs. A check is run periodically for every resource in your pipeline.

How often does Concourse check your resources? Is this frequency configurable?

Answer 1

Looking through the Concourse docs in the resources section:

Default 1m. The interval on which to check for new versions of the resource.

This is configurable in the resource definition under the check_every parameter. See https://concourse-ci.org/resources.html#resource-check-every.
