====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|sink]] is reached.

===Parameters===

</code>

//Stops the filter from outputting more than once every 60 seconds//
