+Setup Sandesh rate limit
+------------------------
+Sandesh send rate limit can be used to throttle system logs transmitted per second. System logs are
+dropped if the sending rate is exceeded.
+
+It is possible to use only global limit for all services of contrail component.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  opencontrail:
+    control:
+      ....
+      sandesh_send_rate_limits:
+        global: 10
+      ....
+
+
+Global limit and limit for specific service can be defined together where specific service limit
+has higher priority.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  opencontrail:
+    config:
+      ....
+      sandesh_send_rate_limits:
+        global: 10
+        config_api: 3
+        schema: 5
+      ....
+
+Only specific service limit can be defined. In this case other services of Contrail component
+keep default value (0) of `sandesh_send_rate_limit`
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+  opencontrail:
+    collector:
+      ....
+      sandesh_send_rate_limits:
+        collector: 100
+        analytics-api: 50
