If you have queries that are relatively infrequent or execute quickly, raise the sampling rate by lowering the `collection_interval` value to collect samples more frequently.

Set the `collection_interval` in your database instance configuration of the Datadog Agent. The default value is 1 second and can be seen in the <a href="https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/blob/master/postgres/datadog_checks/postgres/data/conf.yaml.example#L332C9-L336" target="_blank">`postgres/conf.yaml.example`</a>.
Set the `collection_interval` in the `postgres/conf.yaml` for your database instance configuration of the Datadog Agent. The default value is 10 seconds.

Lower the value to a smaller interval:

```yaml
instances:
- dbm: true
...
query_samples:
collection_interval: 0.1
query_activity:
collection_interval: 1
```
