Once upon a time we had (Mark wrote I think) a pmda that camped on the end of a
log file basically doing a tail piped into a grep selection to accumulate counts
of different sorts of log lines.

It also handled log rotation.

Does anyone else remember this, or am I dreamin' again?

If it did exist at one time, anyone know where to find it now?

yes, it was called 'logtail' but the only remnant seems to be
a slot in stdpmid for LOGTAIL. I think I must have neglected to
open-source it at one point :(

Maybe someone still at SGI could release it? Jeff Hanson?
