Abstract
In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing network traffic flow logging in a distributed computing system are provided. At a high level, the network traffic flow logger is implemented using a network traffic flow logger framework that includes a plurality of modular network traffic flow logging objects for adjustable processing of network flow events. In operation, a plurality of tokens is counted at a first throttling rate. The first throttling rate is associated with a maximum number of tokens threshold. The maximum number of tokens threshold is an adjustable threshold. A flow event is accessed, where flow events are quantified based on tokens. The flow event is queued, based on a count of the plurality of tokens or the maximum number of tokens threshold. Based on queueing the flow event, the first throttling rate is adjusted to a second throttling rate based on a queue length of the queue.
