Abstract
The network device is described that comprises an allocator to adaptively allocate respective event message rate limits to client network devices that is in communication with an event-based system logging server to send event messages to the logging server for processing. The adaptively allocated event message rate limits are communicated to the client network devices so that limiting of a global rate of event messages received by the logging server comprises limiting the respective rates at which the client network devices can transmit event messages to the logging server. Measurement of respective event message rates comprises a count of event messages actually received by the logging server from the corresponding client device within a defined time window.
