[Xymon] Feature Request ~ logfetch

[Michael Beatty]

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.
