[BUG] Gateway pushing data to cloud too often #506

Closed santiago-ruiz closed 3 years ago

santiago-ruiz commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug I'm currently using ThingsBoard Cloud with a ThingsBoard Gateway and looking at the API usage I found that the "Transport hourly activity" was higher than expected. After searching for a bit, looking at the MQTT traffic in the gateway with tcpdump I found that is pushing datapoints (eventsProduced, eventsSent, modbusconnectorEventsProduced, and modbusconnectorEventsSent) every 5 seconds. This frequency cannot be changed in configuration and represents more than 2M Data Points in transport monthly. This limits the API usage a user can get from ThingsBoard Cloud and its unnecessary information. I think this should be configurable in some way....
