I've been after this since I switched to ng and realized this feature was not migrated over (for reasons beyond me since this was the only good feature of syslog !)
I'd be very interested in having this ported to the 2.x branch but I'm not a programmer so I need to rely on you code gurus for that.
Nice to see that someone is on it and I'd be happy to help test it !

Hi,

I've done a bit of searching on this mailing list and found some
messages requesting a feature where duplicate messages are
filtered/suppressed/summarised (I'm after the same thing). There appears
to be a patch for syslog-ng 1.6.12 in openSUSE that addresses this for
the older version.

Is anyone actually working on this functionality for a 2.x release?

I've got a proof of concept working on top of the latest 2.0.x git
branch but before I get too carried away I wanted to check if anyone
else is working on it (or if someone has already implemented it).

Thanks,
Chris
