Description
As an admin, I want to know when REST calls are exceeding a configurable rate threshold to proactively take any necessary actions.
Problem Definition
There is no way to proactively detect rapid API calls in HipChat Server.
Suggested Solution
Implement some type of monitoring/alerting for API requests. This could potentially be added in the administrative GUI and/or as a notification.
It would be helpful to be able to configure a request per time threshold at which a notification occurs.
Workaround
It may be possible to implement a custom cron job, using the /home/admin/startup_scripts space, to periodically check for the number of inbound API calls in a particular timeframe, then send an alert based on a threshold.
