A question to SNMP users...

If you're monitoring a SNMP counter, what timeframe would be appropriate for calculating rates? Eg: (where N is timeframe)

1 error per N
1 discard per N
1 fragment per N
1 degree (C / F) temperature change in N


Setting N = seconds seems like a natural choice but I think this will be problematic if you're working in terms of minutes or hours.
Would setting N = minutes be counter intuitive?
