Error Throttling

We’ve had a number of requests to handle the situation when a client process (most likely the Javascript engine in a browser) freaks out and posts a flurry of errors to your Loggr log. Depending on how bad it is, this situation could easily consume your daily event allocation for your log. 

To prevent this from happening we’ve implemented Error Throttling. From our docs:

With error events, it is common to have a flurry of repeated events with the same description. In some cases it may be helpful to log all of them, but most times you don’t want them eating through your daily event limit. By enabling Error Throttling, we’ll track duplicates of events tagged with “error” for a sliding 15-second window. Duplicate events won’t be logged. We’ll just record the number of duplicates on the original event.

You can turn this on in the advanced setting section. Please try it out and let us know how it works for you. It’s possible we will expand this feature to work with different kinds of events, but this seems to solve most of the issues our customers have requested.

Loggr Resources for .NET Developers

Loggr was recently featured on a .NET coding podcast called HerdingCode. With that podcast came an influx of .NET users (thanks to everyone that has joined us). We decided to post some resources we think will be helpful for .NET users. Although anyone interested in Loggr will find them helpful as well.
