Recently, a problem occurred within MSSQL on a Windows Server. This resulted in thousands and thousands of events being recorded in the MSSQL App event log (within a 30 minute time period before and admin was able to fix that problem), which we monitor.
SEM, per the service event warning rule we have, started creating an email notification to 3 email users for each and every event.
This resulted eventually in over 350,000 emails being generated by SEM.
We need a way to configure either a RULE or a USER to only allow X amount of emails to be generated in Y amount of time.
For example, X is 10 emails and Y is 1 minute.
