Hi all,

I am once again at "last message...", hopefully for the last time. I am moving 
this to the input part (together with more advanced rate limiting). This will 
improve performance and reduce complexity in the output part (the added 
complexity in input is far less).

Currently, rsyslog supports the traditional "last message repeated n times" and 
a more informative message.

Traditional is:
Oct 12 18:22:10 rger-virtual-machine rger: test
Oct 12 18:22:17 rger-virtual-machine rger: last message repeated 3 times
Oct 12 18:22:17 rger-virtual-machine rger: testx

The (better) more informative message is:
Oct 12 18:22:10 rger-virtual-machine rger: test
Oct 12 18:22:17 rger-virtual-machine rger: message repeated 3 times: [ test]
Oct 12 18:22:17 rger-virtual-machine rger: testx

Note that the traditional message's semantic is very often wrong, as the 
message directly in front of the "last mes..." is actually not the repeated 
message.

I tend to remove the traditional message and the config option associated with 
it. Does anybody see any problems? If I don't hear back of any problems, I'll 
drop the traditional format.

Rainer
