The update interval on the dashboard widget does not behave as expected. It appears to have a problem with any interval which is not a multiple of 5 seconds. This is because the user input interval is divided by 5 and set as the frequency, and then that value is run through a mod operation and only fires if the result is 0.

From log.widget.php:

logsObject.freq = <?=$nentriesinterval?>/5;

From index.php:

                if (((ajaxcntr % freq) === 0) && (typeof ajaxspecs[ajaxidx].callback === "function" )) {
                    make_ajax_call(ajaxspecs[ajaxidx]);
                }

Unless I'm misreading that code, it looks like unless the interval is a multiple of 5 the result of ajaxcntr % freq could never be 0.

So we either need to lock the input to multiples of 5, or fix that calculation so it sets a compatible value for freq.
