Maximum of events/alarms

Ralf

Hi,

the last days we had a lot of events/alarms (> 500K) in the h2-db within a short time because of a bad script etc.

It would be nice if there was a way to detect this event/alarm-rain and, if necessary, to prevent it, for example by entering a maximum of x events per second.
When the maximum of events/alarms is reached, new ones are discarded until the user quit.

Hi Ralf,

We have explored adding the ability to set event detectors to not raise the event more than once in some amount of time, but that feature was not merged in at the time so hasn't become part of Mango yet.

I think what you're requesting would be something like that, but for data source events, which is a good idea if it is a good idea to do it for event detectors.

Thanks for the suggestion!
