Configuring Time Modifier Throttles

To configure a time modifier throttle, edit a throttle configuration and add the day, date, and time modifiers. The parameters for the throttle time modifiers are explained in the following table:

Throttle Time Modifiers
Parameter Description
Max Count
  • Specifies a maximum count that is active during this time.
  • Refers to a throttle limit to apply if the throttle is in range.
  • Required.
Start Date

Day of Week
  • Specifies the days of the week when the time modifier can be active.

Note:
  • When you configure time modifiers for monitors, and if no day is selected, the time modifiers settings are applicable for all days of the week.

    For example, if you configure throttle time modifiers for a rate throttle as follows, the settings work for all the days of the week.

    • Max Count: 10
    • Start Date: Current Date
    • End Date: Current Date
    • Time Range: 9 A.M. - 11 A.M.
  • The date and time modifiers for monitors use the local time as set on the host machine where the Core Engine instance runs.
  • The time zone for time modifiers should match the Server Time Zone of the Joomla! -based portal of TIBCO API Exchange. Refer to Adapter Code for TIBCO® API Exchange and Joomla! User's Guide to set the Server Time Zone under Location Settings of the system. The Adapter Code for TIBCO® API Exchange and Joomla! User's Guide available at the following location: https://github.com/API-Exchange/JoomlaAdapter/wiki.
