Limit syslog email alerting

[nawas]

I have syslog sev1 and Sev2 email alerts enabled in my Prime LMS4.2.2. Is there a way to limit the alerts so that only one email gets sent for every 100 or 500 duplicate alerts etc.

There are some instances where I received 5000 emails in one night for one of the following error.

Currently the Automated Action is a straight forward action in terms of sending email notification. It acts somehow dumb, so as what you configure, it will act as per it. No further properties can be modifed to set the email rate or set LMS to send one consolidated email.
