# 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 a value using one or more of the following units:
         years      year      y
         months     month     m
         weeks      week      w    wks     wk
         days       day       d

         minutes    minute    n    mins    min
         seconds    second    s    secs    sec
Note that months abbreviates to m, minutes to n. If you want to specify the value in seconds, units are not required. For example, all of the following are equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1n 3s
         63s
