Changing the sampling interval

You can change the sampling interval for monitoring. For example, if you want to collect statistics over a longer period of time, you can lengthen the sampling interval to increase the storing period.

NoteMonitoring data cannot be displayed within the first two sampling intervals after the monitoring starts or the sampling interval is changed because no monitoring data has accumulated. For instance, if the sampling interval is changed to 15 minutes, monitoring data is not accumulated for up to 29 minutes after the interval was changed.
