Detailed Description

Final collector app: receive messages on the input reacting with a confirmation message and sends them out via a raw connection (e.g.

to storage). Apart from the connection-typical behavior, it reacts on termination messages by terminating. Only data messages are passed to the raw output. When receiving a stop on monitoring, it starts a counter. Once there has not been any event for N second, it resets it stop counter (even if not all clients have sent a stop) When receiving a start on monitoring, it clears the input stop counters.
