log4j reduction of repeated message

rsyslog has an option, $RepeatedMsgReduction<http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/rsconf1_repeatedmsgreduction.html> tha can be used to reduce the number of log messages in a system. This option groups the same messages, printing the message in the record and then a line with the number of times it has been repeated.

Is it possible to do the same thing with log4j?

Thanks

Carlos

I believe this is possible, but it’s not trivial. See the discussion here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1630
