# GroupMessagesByInterval

Set this parameter to group multiple messages (from the same channel) into a single IDOL document. For example, if you set `GroupMessagesByInterval=5 minutes`, the connector groups messages that occur within a five-minute interval.

The next interval begins at the time of the first message that falls outside the preceding interval. For example, notice the one minute gap between the following five-minute intervals:

    10:30 - Message1      [Interval 1 starts at 10:30]
    10:32 - Message2      [In interval 1]
    10:34 - Message3      [In interval 1]
                          [Interval 1 ends at 10:35]
    10:36 - Message4      [Interval 2 starts at 10:36]
    10:38 - Message5      [In interval 2]
    10:40 - Message6      [In interval 2]

If you set this parameter and also set GroupMessagesByCount, the connector starts a new document as soon as one of the criteria (time interval or number of messages) is reached.

Type: | Time duration The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify the duration in the following format:
         1years 2months 3weeks 4days 5hours 6minutes 7.8seconds
You can omit any of the individual durations when they are not required:
         6minutes 7seconds
You can also shorten the string by abbreviating the units to their first letter (months abbreviates to m, minutes to n):
         6n 7s
If you want to specify the value in seconds, no units are required:
         60
The following are all equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1n 3s
         63s
         63
