EventMixer Agent

Ideas/Specs for a new agent:

EventMixer would take multiple incoming events and combine them into one outgoing event.

Multiple modes of functionality:

1. "Waiting" mode

   It should:

   • Know the sources of incoming events
   • Merge any incoming events from all sources
   • Have a user configurable window of time
   • Wait until an event has been received from each source within the time window
   • Clear the queue if events are not received from all sources within the time window
   • Emit the merged event if events are received from all sources and clear the queue

2. "Automatic" mode

   It should:

   • Merge any incoming events from all sources
   • Have a user configurable window of time
   • Merge incoming events received within this window of time.
     • Clock starts upon first received event since last outgoing event
   • Emit the merged event if the window of time has elapsed and clear the queue

3. "Scheduled" mode

   it should:

   • Merge any incoming events from all sources
   • Run on a schedule
   • Emit the merged event upon the scheduled time and clear the queue
