"Event Polling" Unclear About "Untrustworthy" Pages

Open oliverisaac opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

In step 1 and step 3 of the Events "Event Polling" workflow, it states "(e.g. half an hour)". Must these necessarily be the same time range?

It would seem to me that if you specify the same time range for both your start age and your threshold age then you would never get past the first page as the first page should not contain events older than the start time.

It would be best to either specify that the threshold age and start age should be the same OR to specify that the threshold age should be smaller than the start age.

"Check the timestamp of the last event on the result page. If it is older than some threshold age less than your initial start age (e.g. 20 minutes) then go to step (4), otherwise proceed with step (6);"

Old issue, but I 100% agree. It's not clear at all.

An example in the docs would probably help the most though.
