I generally agree, but will say that’s not always easy if it’s something system level that’s being induced to be too chatty —- you’re stuck replacing the upstream unit’s Exec, which frankly kind of sucks. I’m also trusting the filter to be as reliable, which may or may not be true.

Rate limiting works, but it’s a pretty blunt instrument and can lead to losing your actually valuable entries vs capturing garbage.
