Is it fine to run service-ping every 5 minutes to monitor the SSR router.

Running service-ping, every 5 minutes is generally **not recommended** on SSR Routers as service-ping is used mainly for troubleshooting purpose and running it frequently can cause unnecessary load on SSR, as it generates synthetic test traffic that traverses the service path exactly like real data traffic (encrypted, encapsulated, forwarded through sessions, etc.) which in turn can have an impact on CPU and memory and may degrade performance over time.
