I am wondering whether we can avoid having a timestamp in the message?
If one wants, it can be retrieved from the errors otherwise as well.
For example, I see the below error in my machine:
2022-02-26 07:45:25.092 IST [17644] ERROR:  duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "t1_pkey"
2022-02-26 07:45:25.092 IST [17644] DETAIL:  Key (c1)=(1) already exists.
2022-02-26 07:45:25.092 IST [17644] CONTEXT:  processing remote data
during "INSERT" for replication target relation "public.t1" in
transaction 724 at 2022-02-26 07:45:09.083848+05:30

Now, here, won't the time at the starting of CONTEXT serves our
purpose. If we can remove the timestamp, I think the message won't
appear too long. What do you think?
