Logging config to combat "log spamming"
Hi,
Is there are way of configuring the logging service so that it doesn't
repeatedly spam the logs with the same message or extremely high volume
messages. This may seem like an odd request, but when a Sling instance
running an application goes haywire spitting out massive exception stack
traces. it can consume all available IO and also all available disk space
quite quickly before anyone can get to it.
Perhaps there is a logback feature already to deal with this ?
Best Regards
Ian

Thank you all.
Looks like that might do the job provided the log messages are
parameterised.
Best Regards

As Robert said you can use the DuplicateMessageFilter. For now you
would need to configure it in a logback.xml and use that in Sling [1].

Logback has the concept of filters
https://logback.qos.ch/manual/filters.html
but I am not sure how to link these to Sling's config.
