Bug Description
Maintainers explains that this option should be off :
https:/
> This parameter models old sysklogd legacy. Note that many people, including the rsyslog authors, consider this to be a misfeature. [...]
> - While turning this feature on can save some space in logs, most log analysis tools need to see the repeated messages, they can’t handle the “last message repeated” format.
> - This is a feature that worked decades ago when logs were small and reviewed by a human, it fails badly on high volume logs processed by tools. [...]
> This turns on repeated message reduction (not recommended):
> `$RepeatedMsgRe
So I think this option should be off by default in Ubuntu.
This option is Off in Debian 10.
Is there a reason why this is option is on on Ubuntu ?
