| `scrape_interval` | The rate in seconds at which metrics are collected from the host operating system. | `5` |
| `scrape_on_start` | Publish the current metrics once, 5 seconds after startup, so the first round doesn't wait a full `scrape_interval`. Intended for long intervals. Regular publishing every `scrape_interval` is unchanged. Applies only when `scrape_interval` is greater than `5`, because with a shorter interval the first regular round is already published earlier. | `false` |
