Total number of events per second

I am using Event Log Analyzer 6.0 build 6010 with MySQL I need to do capacity planning for adding more hosts. The best practices documentation says that with MySQL, I can have 300events/second with max 200 hosts. Thus I want to see events per second in real time as well as historical trend of events per second. I have already tried historical trend and hour-wise trend report. It doesn't give me the events/sec as well as historical events per second for whole system. Could you help asap?

My server is a Xeon 3.6 GHz with 3.5GB of RAM and 250GB in SAN. Another question is when it reaches the threshold of 300 events per sec, what happens to events?

Thanks
