This variable keeps the interval in seconds in which the read functions are
queried (see the B<Interval> configuration option).
+B<Note:> This variable should no longer be used in favor of
+C<plugin_get_interval()> (see above). This function takes any plugin-specific
+interval settings into account (see the C<Interval> option of C<LoadPlugin> in
+L<collectd.conf(5)> for details).
