Your PC will buffer each message and ElkM1::Control simply reads the buffer. The polling is just reading the buffer every so often. You can adjust the polling rate in the perl script files, but I have not lost a single message in years of running the script. Karl @Fa:

It seems that the perl module is polling for events. If the event happens in between polling interval will it still be captured and logged in the database? For example, if someone quickly opens and closes the door. Thanks. I have this question. It seems that the perl module is polling for events.

Are you sure this is what is giving you the error message? Also, did you install the Elk-Control library first?
