How to change the 'time' parameter of the deduplication handler

[ThomasLandauer]

Don't know how this needs to be written in XML & PHP, sorry.

I just pushed an example for the XML and PHP format.

This comment and the provided time: 10 example looks a bit confusing to me. What if we explain this option more in detail and don't include the time: 10 example commented?

deduplicated:
    type:    deduplication
    # the time in seconds during which duplicate entries are discarded (default: 60)
    time: 10
    handler: swift

I like @javiereguiluz suggestion.

@javiereguiluz Don't know what you mean exactly.

My motivation for committing this: Right now, the time setting is explained nowhere. I basically guessed how to write it ;-) The existence of the setting is mentioned a few paragraphs further down:

The deduplicated handler simply keeps all the messages for a request and then passes them onto the nested handler in one go, but only if the records are unique over a given period of time (60 seconds by default).

So I figured I could squeeze it right into the first code block. Not ideal, but better than nothing :-)

However, we could certainly create a separate code block for this, maybe something like:

monolog:
    handlers:
        deduplicated:
            type:    deduplication
            handler: swift
            time: 10

... and position it right below the cited paragraph.
