Under optimal conditions, these lines are identical, indicating that events are processed as soon as
they are received. Under high load conditions, the event processing rate can lag the event
reception rate, resulting in delays in event reporting. Normally this backlog is cleared once the
incoming event rate settles down.
The Event Cache Traffic graph provides an easy way to quickly see the event load the EMS is
operating under and gauge how well it is keeping up with that load.
