+If more than $SystemLogRateLimitInterval * $SystemLogRateLimitBurst log messages are emitted
+from the same process, those messages with $SystemLogRateLimitSeverity or lower will be
dropped. It is not possible to recover anything about these messages, but imuxsock will
tell you how many it has dropped one the interval has expired AND the next message
is logged. Rate-limiting depends on SCM_CREDENTIALS. If the platform does not support
this socket option, rate limiting is turned off. If multiple sockets are configured,
rate limiting works independently on each of them (that should be what you usually expect).

When working with severities, please keep in mind that higher severity numbers mean lower
severity and configure things accordingly.
