## `MAX_INGEST_DELAY_SECONDS`

Option | `MAX_INGEST_DELAY_SECONDS`
Description | Events backlog allowed before LogScale starts responding on http interfaces
Default | `3,600 seconds`

How big a backlog of events in LogScale is allowed before LogScale starts responding `http-status=503` on the http interfaces and rejecting ingesting messages on HTTP? Measured in seconds worth of latency from an event arrival at LogScale until it has been fully processed. Typical latency in normal conditions is zero to one second.

Set to a large number, such as 31104000 (~1 year as seconds), to avoid having this kind of back pressure towards the ingest clients. Range: Min=300, Max=2147483647.
