It's a bit bad choice of words, better would be "previous message repeated 7 
times". So the message that is repeated, is the message directly above it.

Sorry, can't help you with NUT, but it looks like server disconnects are not 
handled correctly and just generate hundreds of messages about stale data, 
rather then refreshing the data.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
