Hi! Anyone have any view over the best way to watch for changes in log files to do some analysis? I want to create some small scripts/software to watch for changes in log files (like /var/log/messages or var/log/mai) and register some data in a db and I found to possible approaches: * to use Perl File::Tail to listen on a file and process any text that arrives * to use tail -f and pipe the output to my software And I was thinking what would the performance implications be and the preferred way of doing such analysis.
