Hmm, not so sure. Haven't run this for quite a while on a production system.
There may be lots of noise due to clients making several requests to
figure things out before then staying connected.
Filtering for duration might help here. Any particular problems you're
having?

To answer your other question, currently we only define two event triggers:
source-connect
source-disconnect

In the near future we'll be adding more. Please join the discussion here:
