Don't backfill events about huginn HOT 8 CLOSED

Agreed. I'll get back to you tonight.

When you setup a new agent to receive events from an existing one that
already has events, the first time event propagation is run, ALL of those
events are sent through receive. That obviously causes some trouble if the
sender agent has accumulated a lot of events already.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me as default behavior. It would
make much more sense to only send future events through.

I could tackle changing this, and I'm looking through the code for where
that's being done, but I'm not that familiar with the code base and am
having trouble finding it. A pointer to where that's happening would be
appreciated.

In Agent#receive!, last_checked_event_id is used to see what events haven't been received by an Agent yet. If you set last_checked_event_id to the newest event id when an Agent is created, it shouldn't backfill. Are you willing to try this and add some specs?

Hi Cantino
I am willing to try and do this for your project, but I am a complete noob to programming and ruby. All
I bring with me is a lot of passion and the willingness to work extremely hard.

Thank you Adam, I'm happy to help in any way and to answer questions!

Hi @Adam89 and @albertsun, have either of you had a chance to look at this? Otherwise, I likely can this week.

What would you guys think of this:

• Default of not backfilling events. When a new Agent is created, it only receives future events.
• New option in the agents#index view to trigger a backfill from a set of sending agents and within a date range.
