everysec

Everysec is a term used primarily in informal documentation and code samples to denote events, measurements, or actions that occur on a one-second interval. It is not the name of a formal standard, product, or specification. In practice, everysec is a label or shorthand that conveys the idea of per-second granularity rather than a precise protocol.

In programming, a timer or loop can be driven at an everysec cadence, for example by repeating a task once every second and waiting for a one-second interval between iterations. In configuration files, developers may annotate a data source with cadence: everysec to indicate the sampling rate.

In time-series data and monitoring, a per-second resolution is common for high-frequency metrics. Data exporters and dashboards may log or aggregate data at seconds, and some schemas include a cadence field with values such as everysec or 1s.

Practical considerations include clock drift, scheduling jitter, and the overhead of collecting data at high frequency. Achieving a true one-second cadence requires carefully chosen timers, non-blocking I/O, and monotonic clocks to minimize drift over long runs.

Because everysec is informal, its exact meaning varies by project. When encountered, it should be interpreted from surrounding documentation or code context to determine the intended cadence and how it is applied in that environment.
