Suppress duplicate messages (message throttling)

You can prevent client applications from flooding logs with duplicate messages when there is a recurring problem. The default value is 5 minutes, meaning that if the same message repeats within 5 minutes, logging applications will not log that message.

To modify this setting, edit the web.config file located on your client machine. Edit the following entry under <appSettings> to adjust throttling settings:

<add key="ErrorSuppressionTime" value="" />

The value is a time in minutes; therefore, the following line would set message throttling to ten minutes:

<add key="ErrorSuppressionTime" value="10" />

If the value is zero, then message throttling is disabled. It is recommended that you do not disable message throttling.
