 The interval is used to determine how often a particular command should be run. Each

+# Sample
+
+Let's say that we have a command named "mycollector", which gives the following output:
+```json
+{
+    "a": 0.5,
+    "b": {
+        "c": "some text",
+        "d": 0.1,
+        "e": 5
+    }
+}
+```

+The collected metrics will be:
+```
+exec_mycollector_a value=0.5
+exec_mycollector_b_d value=0.1
+exec_mycollector_b_e value=5
