----------------------------------------

Hi,

I figured out where I have seen this: in an Android log. It's a Linux syslog 
feature. Example: https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli/issues/1787

I would go simple and count only totally identical message strings (or maybe 
groups of 3-5 strings if you wanna get fancy). It shouldn't lose any 
information that may be important. 

I read one place that syslog even limits the counting to a 20-second window 
then writes another full message and starts over. Maybe this is a good idea so 
we do not lose too much time information.

>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Appenders
>    Affects Versions: 2.6.2
>            Reporter: Norbert Somlai
>            Priority: Minor

> While counting how many times Hibernate issues exactly the same SQL, I 
> remembered seeing a log like this somewhere:
> 12:34:56 INFO blah
> ... previous line repeated 23 times
> 11:22:33 DEBUG blah
> Having appenders suppress lines that follow each other and are exactly the 
> same would be a nice way to make log files more readable.
