Hi Toby,

I'd like to be able to detect and hide consecutive identical log entries (or sequences of log entries), while adding the information how many times the entry or sequence of entries was repeated.

I achieved the duplicate detection and filtering through a custom filter implementation, but couldn't find a good way to add the number of repetitions anywhere.
Keeping a reference to the first LogEntry instance of the duplication series and prepending the number of duplications to the message worked as long as I was in the filter, but the modified message persisted even after removing the filter and generally this doesn't seem like a clean solution.

Is there some better way to achieve this, and if not, could you add it to a future version?

Thanks,
Simon

I actually have a custom parser for these logs already, but haven't considered using it for the deduplication yet.
I'll give it a try, thanks!

No problem Simon.  Hope that helps,

Toby
