Why pmval shows every seconds information, even though pmlogger logging interval is 60 seconds?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • pmval shows every seconds data from pmlogger archive, is this correct? pmlogger collect data every seconds?
  • pmval shows every seconds data from pmlogger archive, it seems different from pmlogger's default interval 60 seconds.

    $  pmval kernel.all.cpu.sys  -a /var/log/pcp/pmlogger/hostname/20230607.00.10.0
    [...]
    00:11:16.623               0.1620   <<=== Each seconds have different value
    00:11:17.623               0.1190   
    00:11:18.623               0.1130   
    [...]
    $ grep PMLOGGER_INTERVAL /etc/sysconfig/pmlogger /usr/share/pcp/zeroconf/pmlogger
    /etc/sysconfig/pmlogger:# PMLOGGER_INTERVAL=60
