use Swatch::Threshold;

threshold track_by=<key>, type=<limit|threshold|both>, count=<int>, seconds=<int>
SWID is swatch's internal ID number for the watchfor block
TYPE can be limit, threshold, or both
Limit - Alert on the 1st COUNT events during the time interval, then ignore events for the rest of the time interval.
Threshold - Alert every COUNT times we see this event during the time interval.
Both Alert once per time interval after seeing COUNT occurrences of the event, then ignore any additional events during the time interval.
SECONDS is the time interval
