Balzi 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. Will syslog-ng-2.0 include the 'suppress repeated messages' feature that syslogd has ? 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. 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. 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 "previous message repeated 1000 times" etc.. 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. 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... Well I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. Is anyone using SEC in conjunction with syslog-ng to achieve exactly that ? -- stucky
