DuplicateMessageFilter in logback not available with logback version 1.2.3 used by Ignition?

Ignition
1

@PGriffith, @Kevin.Herron
is there any plan to upgrade Ignition logback 1.2.3 to logback 1.3.x or 1.4.x ?

I try to add a builtin DuplicateMessageFilter to avoid some repetitive logs, but it has no effect and seem to be available only from logback 1.3.0 :sob:

Ignition/data/logback.xml

<configuration> 
    ...
    <turboFilter 
      class="ch.qos.logback.classic.turbo.DuplicateMessageFilter">
        <AllowedRepetitions>3</AllowedRepetitions>
		<CacheSize>100</CacheSize>
    </turboFilter>

</configuration>

https://logback.qos.ch/manual/filters.html#DuplicateMessageFilter

:thinking: seems to be available in logback-classic-1.2.3.jar used by Ignition 8.1

the issue must be relative to anything else ...

	loggerName = "ESSAI"
	log = system.util.getLogger(loggerName)
	for i in range(50):
		log.info("message repetitif")

produce all the message in the gateway logs.

No special log from logback at gateway restart

Did you solve the issue with DuplicateMessageFillter? Im facing same issue and wondering if someone finally find the solution.

No. I have not run some test with the last version of ignition. Logback has been upgraded since but I don't known if it change anything for this use case.
