msys.dp_config.concurrent_connection_limits

This table determines the behavior with respect to concurrent connection limits.

Find below the sample excerpt included in the dp_config.lua file.

msys.dp_config.concurrent_connection_limits = {
  { check = true,
    mask = "/32",
    limit = 10,
    service = "SMTP",
    honor_whitelist = { "global" },
  },
  { check = true,
    mask = "/24",
    limit = 100,
    service = "SMTP",
    honor_whitelist = { "global" },
  },
  -- System-wide connection limit, don't honor the whitelists here
  { check = true,
    mask = "/0",
    limit = 20000,
    service = "SMTP",
  }
};
msys.dp_config.audit_series = {};

The elements of this configuration table are as follows:

check

Whether or not to use this configuration item.

mask

honor_whitelist

A table listing any applicable whitelists set in the msys.dp_config.whitelist table.

In order to use any of the audit series configuration tables you must include msys.dp_config.audit_series. These configuration tables are only relevant in a cluster configuration.
