The default behavior for event queries is to accumulate the query values, adding them to existing values. For example, if you have 5 workflows in progress, the Workflow event will count 5 workflows the first time it queries the Process Analyzer data, and it will count another 5 workflows five minutes later for a total of 10 workflows, and so on with each query. This technique is generally not appropriate for work in progress.
NOTE If you are using the event objects provided in OOTBConfiguration.JAR, Buckets.JAR, and Thresholds.JAR, you can modify these events as appropriate for your application—the change described below has already been applied to these event objects. For new events that you create, use the following procedure to modify the default behavior so that each event query will clear the current values and use the new values obtained with the query.
