2. Configure the data parameters as follows:
— Polling Interval - Specifies the sampling interval, in seconds. A

For example, if the polling interval is set to 30 seconds and
storage buckets to 100, then the application saves data related
to the last 50 minutes (100 buckets * ½ minute).
When all storage buckets are full, old data is deleted to free space
