Setting Event Rate Throttle
Event Rate Throttle protects against system failure during flood attacks by
controlling the rate at which the system accepts events.
The default value is set to 150 events per second for optimum performance, and
you do not need to lower it under most circumstances. Increase the value to see
more events, but make sure that the system has sufficient RAM. Set the value at
a number greater than 0, or the default will be triggered.
To configure node parameters
1 Click Configuration > Node > Network Security Parameters.
