Yes, dendrite tails/follows, with optional backfilling. > Did you use some internal queue in the design, like rsyslog is doing? Since you're using existing logs, all we do is maintain a pointer into the logs on disk. When we start consuming more transient data (e.g. perhaps we poll jmx for you), we'll have to add the queue. > I am confused here a bit. So Dendrite is like StatsD on steroids? Dendrite is "tail -f *.log | convert_to_json.pl | nc" on steroids.
