[mrtg] Data collection interval

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

>From the MRTG docs here: http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-reference.en.html 

Note that unless you are using rrdtool you can not set Interval to less than 5 minutes. If you are using rrdtool you can set interval in the format
So, you need to move to an RRDTool backend if you want less than a 5 minute resolution.

Troy, thanks for the hint.  I am running it on Windows and I can't seem
to cross reference that.  Anyone else??

If you are running in cron, you can adjust your interval.  In the  
example below, I am running a query every 2 minutes.
