How can I set a sample size using redis-cli --latency command?

Question

I'm trying to write a script to monitor the redis latency from my server. I saw about the redis-cli --latency command but can't find any way to preset to sample size it should actually measure, so I can actually see the difference in latency over time. I can't find documentation on this or any actual way to do this.

Is this possible and if it is, how?

No, atm redis-cli's sample size when using the --latency switch isn't configurable. This mode is designed to be interactive rather than scriptable, but you are more than welcome to submit the question/challenge/idea to the forum of the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/redis-db).
