Re: Throttling/Rollup feature in EventLogAppender

Hi Pranav,

 

James Wilkinson and I worked up some code to do this. See http://markmail.org/message/pahnqti7yq4xoz7m 

 

I am currently the bottleneck on this having not responded to James' last message :(. I'll get moving and hopefully we can contribute this code to the community soon.

 

Cheers, Jerry

Subject: Throttling/Rollup feature in EventLogAppender
&nbsp;

Is there a Throttling feature available or planned in EventLogAppender.

If we log to event log a message that could potentially be logged at frequency of one per incoming request to my web application, it could flood the event log with millions of messages if/when things go wrong.&nbsp; If there was a = way to roll them up every x seconds into a single event log message (with a count of how many messages where rolledup), it would be useful to me.

Is there any such feature? Or workaround?

Regards

Pranav
