Automatic protection against events storms

At this time, there is no automatic protection mechanism in AIOps that will stop or throttle event ingestion when a sudden event spike occurs.

Kafka is designed to absorb short-term bursts in workload, but this capability is ultimately limited by the resources allocated to the platform, particularly storage. As long as the spike is temporary and remains within the available capacity, Kafka can buffer and process the increased load. However, if the volume of incoming data exceeds the available storage for a sustained period, Kafka will continue accepting data until the disks become full.

When the storage reaches 100% utilization, Kafka is no longer able to write quorum data and stops functioning. 

The suggestion is about implementing an automatic protection mechanism, such as throttling, backpressure, or temporarily rejecting data from sources when ingestion rates exceed the capacity of the environment. Today, this type of protection is not available as a built-in feature in AIOps.
