Syslog - How to know the time interval at which cisco sends syslog messages to syslog server

Hello everyone, I did some pretty wide searching across Cisco documentation and forums out there, though I still cannot find the correct command.

I have a Nexus 9372 and I also tried scouring through the "Logging" commands one-by-one to possibly end-up with the right combination of commands. Though no success at all.

Setup: Nexus is pointed to send level 6 syslog messages to a syslog server

Question: How would I know the "frequency" at which my Nexus is sending logs to my Linux syslog server? I think, this is not within the "Timestamp" command which is the interval at which IOS will capture the logs. If it is, please enlighten me. Thank you very much!!!

Most Cisco products stream syslog messages in approximately real time as they happen, not batched up at particular intervals.  The frequency is therefore driven by what's happening on your platform.  A healthy data center switch under normal operating conditions will send relatively few syslog messages, typically only when links or neighbors go up or down.
