Pipeline Processing
-------------------
On large workloads, multiple notification agents can be deployed to handle the
flood of incoming messages from monitored services. If transformations are
enabled in the pipeline, the notification agents must be coordinated to ensure
related messages are routed to the same agent. To enable coordination, set the
``workload_partitioning`` value in ``notification`` section.
To distribute messages across agents, ``pipeline_processing_queues`` option
should be set. This value defines how many pipeline queues to create which will
then be distributed to the active notification agents. It is recommended that
the number of processing queues, at the very least, match the number of agents.
.. note::
Increasing the number of processing queues will improve the distribution
of messages across the agents.
.. warning::
Decreasing the number of processing queues may result in lost data as any
previously created queues may no longer be assigned to active agents. It
is only recommended that you **increase** processing queues.
