💡 Discard identical logs

[valkum]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the eventRateLimiterThreshold is hardcoded to 3000 in

browser-sdk/packages/core/src/domain/configuration/configuration.ts

Line 162 in b43623f

eventRateLimiterThreshold: 3000,

We would like to lower this value to avoid logging too many identical errors (e.g. extensions adding icons into input fields which can cause many ResizeObserver loop errors).

Describe the solution you'd like
Add eventRateLimiterThreshold to InitConfiguration

Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding a wrapper around logging functions and our own forwardErrorsToLogs eventHandlers to add similar behavior would work I think, but that would require a bunch of code that isn't really needed. The functionality is already there.

Hi @valkum,

If I understand correctly, you would like to reduce the number of identical log errors.
Another way to do it could be to have an option to automatically drop duplicated logs, maybe during a specific time frame, for example do not send a log that has already seen in the last minute.
Would it be a suitable option for your use case?

In the mean time, it is something that you could achieve through the beforeSend, by keeping track of seen logs and discard further occurrences.

Drop duplicate logs in the last minute would also be a suitable option.

We will look into adding a workaround using beforeSend for now.

Thanks for your fast response.
