Discussing the article: "Mastering Log Records (Part 10): Avoiding Log Replay by Implementing a Suppression"

Check out the new article: Mastering Log Records (Part 10): Avoiding Log Replay by Implementing a Suppression.

We created a log suppression system in the Logify library. It details how the CLogifySuppression class reduces console noise by applying configurable rules to avoid repetitive or irrelevant messages. We also cover the external configuration framework, validation mechanisms, and comprehensive testing to ensure robustness and flexibility in log capture during bot or indicator development.

This article arose from a direct request from a user of the Logify library. He pointed out a problem that many people face in practice: when the volume of logs grows too much, repeated or irrelevant messages end up polluting the history, making it difficult to find what really matters. If you have any other ideas, questions or challenges that you'd like me to address, feel free to leave a comment at the end. This is our space, and it's by listening to you that the library evolves.

Before we go any further, it's important to understand what "log suppression" means. In a nutshell, suppression is the process of controlling which log messages are recorded, with the aim of avoiding excess, redundancy or pollution of information. Instead of simply dumping everything the system produces, you filter and limit what appears, ensuring that the log contains only the messages that are useful, relevant and at the right time.

In this article, we'll present a practical implementation of a log suppression system for Logify, designed to be flexible and efficient. You'll see how to combine different forms of control, such as avoiding identical messages repeated in sequence, limiting the frequency with which the same log appears, controlling the maximum number of repetitions, and even filtering by the source or file from which the log came. All this with an intelligent system based on bitwise modes, which allows you to activate several rules at the same time without complications.

A very brilliant article, thank you. Now the log library is already quite comprehensive.

Hello author, I have a suggestion. Create some macros. You only need to include one file. No configuration is required. You can use the library with the default configuration. When logging is disabled, the macro does not generate any actual code into the final compiled ex5.
