Re: Suppress 'duplicate key' at errorlog?

I _do_ want to phone in on the whole duplicate key issue.

Sure, this could be a race condition. It could be bad programming. It could be a variety of things.

You ABSOLUTELY do not want to ignore that. Ignoring and moving on will cause consistency problems. Catch it and add it to a log or an email. Continue.

Do NOT silently ignore something trying to add a duplicate key.

Hi,

 

Is there a way to suppress a ‘duplicate key’ msg  from the errorlog?  Due to a bug in a 3rd party application,  this keeps on appearing and I am concerned that it will fill up the filesystem.    I can delete  the old errorlog,  but if there is any other meaningful msgs out there, I would lose that too.

 

Thanks.

Not in any way that doesn't also entail the "but if there is any other meaningful msgs out there, I would lose that too." risk.

Stop thinking about the limited problem of removing the excessive messages and just learn how to deal with high-volume log situations generally.  At worse you could a simple log rotation and archive with a cleanup "sed" script that deletes these messages.  Suggest setting "application_name" in order to be more targeted.
