Description

Some rsyslog configuration contains by default the directive

$RepeatedMsgReduction on

This directive causes the messages that are identicals not to be sent. For instance, this is a by default directive on some Ubuntu ( http://serverfault.com/questions/30303/is-there-a-way-to-remove-last-message-repeated-x-times-from-logs ) (happens on Ubuntu 12.04 with rsyslog 5.8.6-1ubuntu8.9)

Techniques should probably check for this directive to remove it (or we should at least warn the user). Idealy, it would be great to simply remove repeated message for rudder messages, but I'm not sure it is feasable

For clarification, this should be on the client side, not server side (it is already server side)

Rsyslog keeps the last read value, and files in rsyslog.d are parsed after the RepeatedMsgReduction (at least on SuSE), so we only need to add it to the Rudder config file.

We also have to keep in mind that it is a global configuration that will be applied on all the logs from the machine.
