I was thinking I could log the data using the SQLite writer, and then also read from that database checking if the event has been logged earlier.  Has anyone used the SQLite logging in a cluster, and if so, is there anything I should look out for?  The size of the log is very small.

A different approach here is probably better.

What is your timeframe for not logging something twice?  Forever? or would once a day be ok?
