You can get dropped message statistics over JMX. for example nodetool tpstats has a counter for dropped hints from startup. that would be the preferred method for tracking this info, rather than parsing logs

I'm not able to get any info from the cassandra logs for dropped hints & dropped messages. ( I was testing this on Test cluster by stopping the cassandra services on one of the node , where the hints window is set to 05 Mins and kept the node down for 1 hour , and monitoring the cassandra logs, but nothing generated on dropped hints on any other nodes in the cluster ). The only message I found is on the down node is that - "Paused hints dispatch". Can some one put some light on this issue on 3.10 , is there any changes in the hints & dropped messages , logs or the process. thanks in advance, regards, Anumod.
