I am configured Zabbix to monitor my Jboss Server logs for Erros and exclude some know errors. This setup is working with one issue. Zabbix will send me alerts when there is a new "ERROR" entry in the log file. But sometimes I get multiple alerts for the same event. For example, I got 5 alerts with the same time stamp "2012-06-25 07:55:56,864 ERROR". The duplicate alerts count is not constant, sometimes I get 2 sometimes 5 or 11.
I checked the Monitoring Latest data in the GUI, and found that there is no duplicate entries.
I have given my configuration of the log monitoring below. I am using latest version of zabbix server(2.0)
Item configuration:
Description: Server Error Monitoring.
Key: log["/SERVER/jboss/jboss-5/server/ps/log/server.log","ERROR",UTF-8,200,skip]

Event generation: Normal + Multiple TRUE events
Action configuration:

Please help me fixing this issue.
