| 1. A method executing on a processor of a computing device for suppressing events written to a log stored on a computer-readable
storage medium, comprising:
determining when an event is to be written to the log on the computer-readable storage medium;
determining a number of occurrences of the event during a detection period; wherein the determination includes using the processor
to determine how many attempts have been made to write the event to the log during detection period; and
suppressing the event from being written to the log on the computer-readable storage medium when the number of attempts to
write the event to the log exceeds a suppression threshold; and
writing the event to the log on the computer-readable storage medium when the number of attempts to write the event to the
log is at or below the suppression threshold.
