heartbeat logs activities even if time gap is lower than the maximum gap set. [#463722]

Under 'maximum gap' setting help text I read that it shouldn't log same activities if the time gap hasn't elapsed. Let's say my gap is 7200 sec. - The activities are logged in hb_activities table despite that same activities happen only some seconds one after the other. Am I missing something in configuration? or is it a bug?

In a way it is.
The settings description is wrong. Intentionally i wanted to do it like the description says, but after finishing the proof of concept, i got to the phase where i used this setting for view purposes only.
The heartbeat logs everything in fact as it is dumb. It is the rendering of the messages that takes this setting into consideration. I saw this once as well, but i am not maintaining this module good enough.
In next releases, I will make sure that the description does what it says it should do. In other words there will be no settings for the moment on "how to log activity" but rather more settings for the viewing of it.

I hope this is clear to you and sorry for this inconvenience. There are only timegaps in the viewing but everything gets logged. that's the way it is for the moment.

Thx
