Re: Snapshot logging

[Ralph Goers <ra...@dslextreme.com>]

Why not just use a filter that allows the events through for some amount of time at the specified interval?

What you are suggesting sounds like a reconfigurator component that could would reconfigure based on the schedule (or whatever that reconfigurator wanted to use as the basis for reconfiguration).

That might be one place where allowing groovy or beanshell in the configuration would make sense.
