The sampling interval is the period of time between polls of the switch's consumable resources to moni-
tor performance vis-a-vis previously specified thresholds. The
configure the sampling interval between health statistics checks.
To configure the sampling interval, enter the health interval command, followed by the number of
seconds.
For example, to specify a sampling interval value of 6 seconds, enter the following command:
-> health interval 6
Valid values for the seconds parameter include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30.
