Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
sys.internal.limits.max.fetch.incidents
Why this is correct
This parameter limits the maximum number of incidents fetched per poll cycle.
- ✗
server.jvm.garbage.collection.interval
Why it's wrong here
Garbage collection is managed automatically by the JVM and is not a standard ingestion throttling parameter.
- ✓
incident.ingestion.batch.size
Why this is correct
Batch size controls how many incidents are processed together during ingestion.
- ✓
integration.fetch.timeout.seconds
Why this is correct
Configuring fetch timeouts prevents hung integration fetches from blocking worker threads indefinitely.
- ✗
docker.max.container.lifespan
Why it's wrong here
Container lifespan does not control incident ingestion rates.
