Throttle (Analytic Filter)

Description

The Throttle filter is used to slow down the output of a particular analytic.

In some cases the changes to your incoming data may be rapid - so rapid that storing them will either cause excessive network, server or storage use.

By using the Throttle filter, you can reduce the amount of times the sink is reached.
