Description

Description

Currently POSIX (with klog) logs all consecutive identical events. This can generate huge amount of logs. Need to suppress such repeated logs (with count=N or something similar in the log).

Here is an example:
time=2026-06-16T10:30:18.237-04:00 level=WARN msg="handler error" origin=ctlog.example.com/2026h1 name=AddChain error="Too Many Requests"
time=2026-06-16T10:30:18.239-04:00 level=WARN msg="handler error" origin=ctlog.example.com/2026h1 name=AddChain error="Too Many Requests"
