I can't think of any way to tell analog to grab the last log file. But
you could do it with the date command from the command line:
analog /var/tmp/logs/`date +%Y`/`date +%m`/`date +%d`
That would get you a log file with today's date. To do it for one with
yesterday's date just add '-d yesterday' to each date command.
