Hi,
I'm generating a stats (csv) file that is updated every second. The log has no errors/skips, but I've found that if I don't specify an interval within inputs.conf it will miss randomly and/or part read the last event as it's written. If I set an interval, say 10 seconds, then I get a missed event every 10 seconds without fail. I'm using collectl to populate the file.
So I guess my question is; is it possible to skip the last event, but read it on the next run?
Here are my inputs and props for completeness.
inputs.conf
[monitor:///var/tmp]
whitelist = sysRes-log-\d{8}\.tab
disabled = false
index = os
host = logserver
sourcetype = sysStats
#multiline_event_extra_waittime = true
recursive = false
props.conf
