Possible Denial of service attack - by design as explained in issue #98 #99

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Since the monitor cache is limited i.e. 1K events, a rogue monitor can flood 
the cache.  However, this issue is somewhat mitigated by the fact that 'ae' 
daemon only polls only once a second.

None the less, this design issue is recognized.  One can mitigate this further 
by increasing the cache size to 10K or 100K events, depending upon the memory 
availability,
