Problem :
Ruby on Rails apps error reports include precise instance IDs in this way :
#ErrorController:0x92511c0
The 0x92511c0 prevents similar errors from regrouping.
Possible solution :
Introduce "blind spot" patterns applied to the error texts before detecting similarity. They could be expressed in regexp form with the blinded replacement in an hash :
{ /(<\w+):0x[0-9a-f]+(>)/ => '\1\2', /(some_parameter: )\d+/ => '\1' }
