How to Time Your Data Collection with Telegraf Agent Settings

Telegraf's data collection settings allow users to fine-tune their configuration for optimal performance. The `interval` setting determines how often data is collected, with lower values resulting in more frequent collections. The `round_interval` setting can be used to round the collection interval, ensuring uniform timestamps across all sources. Additionally, the `collection_jitter` setting can be used to add randomness to the collection process, while the `collection_offset` setting allows for precise scheduling of collections. Finally, the `precision` setting enables users to set the granularity of their timestamps, ranging from seconds to nanoseconds.
