1. A method for preventing event flooding in an event processing system, the method comprising: responsive to receiving monitored activity data, analysing, by a plurality of processors, the monitored activity data, to identify an event; responsive to identifying the event, identifying, by the plurality of processors, a set of threshold values and determining whether the event has met a threshold value of the set of threshold values; responsive to determining that the event has met the threshold value, determining, by the plurality of processors, if the met threshold value, is an identical threshold value met by a previous event; and responsive to determining that the met threshold value is an identical threshold value met by the previous event, disregarding, by the plurality of processors, the event.
