A Note On Event Manager Synchronization
When Primary and Secondary Event Managers are disconnected and then reconnected, there is a small lag time
before the Event Managers synchronize events (normally just a few seconds, depending on the number of events to
be re-sorted). During this time, new events are still received as normal.
