Disabling the syslog "last message repeated x times" message

Disabling the syslog "last message repeated x times" message

Hello,

I have some Extreme devices sending to a remote syslog server, Is there away to disable the "last message repeated x times" feature and have it send the whole message?

It's messing up our filtering on the remote syslog server
1) it doesn't send the hostname/ip address with the message
2) we don't know which message is getting repeated as we aggregate the syslog messages from all of our devices to provide a live view of the network.

Example of the message we see in our remote syslog is

May 25 23:04:38 exsshd: last message repeated 4 times
May 25 23:42:37 exsshd: last message repeated 4 times
May 26 00:45:19 SNMP.Master: last message repeated 2 times
May 26 01:15:58 exsshd: last message repeated 2 times

Ideally we need it to be the full message each time, eg

May 28 14:27:54 exsshd: SSH connection from sourc #012 has been denied by access-list mgmt_access. Rejecting connection.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Report this issue to TAC. It could be software issue.

What is the switch model and software version?

That is part of the problem, I can see the switch IP for every message apart from the "last message repeated" ones.

All I know is that something repeated somewhere but not which device.
