Issue description
we all know this entry in the syslog:
... last message repeated ... times
can it somehow be easily ruled out?
Issue solution
Yes, they can. There are many ways to do so and below is only one such example:
filter {
  if [source] == "/ var / log / messages" {
    if [message] =~ / last message repeated [0-9] + times / {
      drop {}
    }
  }
}
