Rate limit the flow of events
Stack
The rate_limit processor limits the throughput of events based on the specified configuration.
In the current implementation, rate-limited events are dropped. Future implementations may allow rate-limited events to be handled differently.
processors: - rate_limit: limit: "10000/m" processors: - rate_limit: fields: - "cloudfoundry.org.name" limit: "400/s" processors: - if.equals.cloudfoundry.org.name: "acme" then: - rate_limit: limit: "500/s" The following settings are supported:
limit- The rate limit. Supported time units for the rate are
s(per second),m(per minute), andh(per hour). fields-
(Optional) List of fields. The rate limit will be applied to each distinct value derived by combining the values of these fields.
