Different time intervals for data collection in the Cacti system can be managed by setting different data sources and data retention periods. Typically, shorter intervals for data collection result in higher accuracy of data but also require more system resources.

In the Cacti system, users have the flexibility to set up different data sources based on their needs, such as collecting data every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or hourly. Users can also specify in the data storage settings how long historical data should be retained for future analysis and comparison.

Additionally, the Cacti system offers graph templates and data templates, allowing users to create different templates for displaying and comparing data at different time intervals. With these features, users can more flexibly handle data collection at different time intervals, analyze and monitor data according to actual situations.
