Hi, I'd like to count the events coming in per second, and then want to decide something based on the count. How can I achieve this? I tired to count the events by using aggregate plugin per second, but as you could imagine, I don't know if this is the last event to make a decision upon. Thanks. ---

Decide or do something - whatever it is. ---
