Remarks

Use the NotificationThrottle element to guard against large numbers notifications being generated due to events and subscriptions from external sources.

During each quantum, the generator runs rules that generate notifications. If the NotificationThrottle value is exceeded, the generator throws an error and stops the rule. Other rules within the quantum are not affected unless they also exceed the throttle value.

If you set the NotificationThrottle value to 0, there is no limit to the number of notifications generated from a single rule.

For additional information, see Specifying Throttles for Events, Subscriptions, and Notifications.

Example

The following example shows how to specify that a single generator quantum can produce no more than 3500 notifications per notification class.

<NotificationThrottle>3500</NotificationThrottle>
