Description: The interval in seconds over which data is accumulated before being aggregated into a report in the apmReportTable. All reports with the same apmReportControlIndex will be based on the same interval. This object must be greater than zero.

Many users desire that these reports be synchronized to within seconds of the beginning of the hour because the results may be correlated more meaningfully to business behavior and so that data from multiple agents is aggregated over the same time periods. Thus management software may take extra effort to synchronize reports to the beginning of the hour and to one another. However, the agent must not allow reports to 'drift' over time as they will quickly become unsynchronized. In particular, if there is any fixed processing delay between reports, the reports should deduct this time from the interval so that reports don't drift.

This object may not be modified if the associated apmReportControlStatus object is equal to active(1).
