+=item B<Interval> I<Seconds>
+
+Collect data from this host every I<Seconds> seconds. This value needs to be a
+multiple of the global B<Interval> setting and, if it is not, will be rounded
+B<down> to one and a warning is logged in this case. So if your global
+B<Interval> is set to I<10> and you configure I<25> here, it's rounded down to
+I<20>. By default the global B<Interval> setting will be used.
+
+This option is meant for devices with not much CPU power, e.E<nbsp>g. network
+equipment such as switches, embedded devices, rack monitoring systems and so
+on. Since the B<Step> of generated RRD files depends on this setting it's
+wise to select a reasonable value once and never change it.
