# How-to-change-Native-SACM-Notification-Throttling_686074009
## Introduction

Starting from 2022.11 release, there is a throttling setting built in SMAX. It’s in the CMS notification processor to controls the number of notifications (from CMS gateway) to handle per minute. It’s a farm level setting.

Please notice, customer may feel the delay of CI sync if the throttling value is set too small. It’s not recommended to share this information with customer, which may cause unexpected issue.

## Change the EMS throttling for notifications

1. Change the parameter of throttling in configmap with command below:
	```
	kubectl edit cm itom-xruntime-infra-config -n <namespace>
	```
	![](attachments/686074009/686074005.png)  
	  
	Change the default values to the following:  
	  
	CMSX\_NOTIFICATION\_EMS\_THROTTLING\_ENABLED: " **true** "  
	CMSX\_NOTIFICATION\_EMS\_THROTTLING\_THRESHOLD\_PER\_MIN: " **500** "  
	  
	If it works fine, we can change to a bigger value.
2. Restart the platform-offline pod.  
	  
	After restarted offline pod, you can find the throttling logs in maas\_native\_federation.log  
	  
	Log format: "request the {}/{} permit with key {}" "permit is out with key {}, wait next time window to continue..."

Please be aware that the throttling will impact the whole farm.
