Hi all,

I noticed quite some duplicate certificate entries on Cloudflare Nimbus CT log
https://ct.cloudflare.com/logs/nimbus2026/

Example entries:
Index: 66555937  (entry type: x509cert)
Certificate Fingerprint: d371721e3deb0fe16aa49e13a85754a883c2a7ef170dcd69b26415c8a6b58da4

Index: 66556141  (entry type: x509cert)
Certificate Fingerprint: d371721e3deb0fe16aa49e13a85754a883c2a7ef170dcd69b26415c8a6b58da4

Just to confirm, Is this behavior expected?

Best regards,
Bhushan Lokhande

Hi Bhushan,

Thanks for reporting. Deduplication isn't perfect in the current nimbus logs implementation, so this behavior is expected (if not ideal).

Best,
Luke
