I haven't verified this, but my understanding of how the "logfetch" process
works is that it keeps state of where it got up to in each logfile, and for
the next (5 minute) round, it starts looking for matches only from that
point onwards.  This means, if there's a trigger match in the log file, the
client will send it to the server in that round only.
