Ratelimit.Interval¶

Time window in seconds for rate limiting; 0 disables the limit.

This parameter applies to imjournal: Systemd Journal Input Module.

Name:: Ratelimit.Interval
Scope:: module
Type:: integer
Default:: module=600
Required?:: no
Introduced:: at least 5.x, possibly earlier

Description¶

Defines the interval over which message rate limiting is applied. If more than Ratelimit.Burst messages arrive during this interval, additional messages are silently discarded and a discard notice is emitted at the end of the interval.

Module usage¶

module(load="imjournal" Ratelimit.Interval="...")

Notes¶

Setting the value to 0 disables rate limiting and is generally not recommended.

Legacy names (for reference)¶

$imjournalRatelimitInterval — maps to Ratelimit.Interval (status: legacy)
