starvationProtection.maxReads

Limit consecutive reads from one imbeats session before other sessions can run.

This parameter applies to imbeats: Beats v2 input module.

Name:

starvationProtection.maxReads

Scope:

input

Type:

non-negative integer

Default:

input=500

Required?:

no

Introduced:

8.2606.0

Description

Set the maximum number of consecutive socket reads a worker performs for one imbeats session before yielding so other ready sessions can be processed. This prevents one busy Beats sender from monopolizing the listener.

Use 0 to disable this fairness limit. Positive values cap the number of consecutive reads per turn; smaller values favor fairness across sessions, while larger values favor throughput for busy senders.

Input usage

input(type="imbeats" port="5044" starvationProtection.maxReads="300")
