      Hi,

      Recently upgraded from PfSense 1.2.3 to 2.0.1, and in 1.2.3 if the same message appeared multiple times in the log it would display "last message repeated xx times" but in 2.0.1 I am seeing the individual messages in the log over and over.
      This is probably a basic question but is there a setting to change the log in 2.0.1 to display the "last message repeated xx times" instead of the actual message being displayed numerous times?

      Thanks in Advance

        that decision is usually up to the syslog daemon itself, if the messages are far enough apart, even if they are repeated, it still prints them.

        From a quick glance at the man page, there is a way to disable this message compression but not a way to expand it.
