I see the comments made in logfetch.c
/* Is it ok for these to be hardcoded ? */ #define MAXCHECK 102400 /* When starting, dont look at more than 100 KB of data */ #define MAXMINUTES 30 #define POSCOUNT ((MAXMINUTES / 5) + 1) #define LINES_AROUND_TRIGGER 5
My answer to this would be, "no".
Due to various reasons, it is not desirable to run my client more than
once every hour. Therefore, the msgs check for log files is almost
useless unless I change these values (and honestly, I'm not even sure
that would work as I haven't seen if this would impact anything else).
If I ran my client every hour, I would lose 50% of my log data.
I would like to see where the log check would be dependent on how long of an interval your client is run as opposed to a hard coded 30 minutes.
