Hi Marc Yes you are completely right!
I had referred to a plug-in synopsis which had put the Interval setting within the <plugin ..> block . As you say the Interval needs to be added by creating a block for the loadplugin section i.e. <LoadPlugin cpu>... I tried this for cpu ethstat etc and now works as expected. I should have read the synopsis in the manpage for collectd.conf more carefully!
