[analog-help] Thread safe?

[analog-help]

Might be a stupid question but is Analog thread safe?
If I run 2 instances of analog against the same log files will there be 
a problem?

I have a 2 config files writing reports to different locations for each 
instance

I could just try this but the problems could be to subtle to spot

Re: [analog-help] Thread safe?

You can run multiple Analog processes without conflict on the same data 
sources as long as they write to different files. If you are writing 
back DNS lookups, the second process that starts will failover to read 
mode and only read DNS entries that are already in the DNS cache file.

If you were to try to run simultaneous instances of Analog writing to 
the same output file, the system should block the second process from 
writing to the file.
