Sorry if this is redundant. I thought I read something about it but I
can't find it anymore so I thought I ask again. It's a very simple
question.<br>
<br>
Will syslog-ng-2.0 include the 'suppress repeated messages' feature that syslogd has ?<br>
<br>
That's the one thing I really miss since it causes email floods (5000
and more at one time). I know there is stuff like SEC and I am trying
to look into it.<br>
However, I like the mechanism I have in place right now except it has
no threshold feature. I honestly believe that this should be
accomplished by the log daemon itself rather than a parser.<br>
Just something similar to syslogd where it prints a certain burst of 5
or 10 messages of the same kind that then adds one line saying
&quot;previous message repeated 1000 times&quot; etc..<br>
<br>
I know with SEC I can say if this message shows up x times within a
certain window then alert me. However that's not really what I want.<br>
I want a logparser that says if one source logs the same message 1000
times in a row then alert me once and skip the other messages...<br>
Well I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about.<br>
Is anyone using SEC in conjunction with syslog-ng to achieve exactly that ?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>stucky
