[collectd] Configure reporting interval on network plugin

[Joel Serrano]

Hi everybody,

Going back to this, I have tried more combinations with no luck.

Has anyone successfully configured the network plugin in collectd to send
metrics every X seconds? (like 10 seconds).

I can't manage to figure out how to do it.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Joel.
