Ari Rabkin commented on CHUKWA-185:
-----------------------------------
The approach I had in mind was the following --
Define a "DirTailingAdaptor", that takes as parameters a directory, and enough
options to create a FileTailingAdaptor. (probably a class name and a data type)
That adaptor should scan the directory; if it sees a new file, it should start
a tailing adaptor on it.
Keep a list of currently running adaptors in the directory.
For now, we can punt on expiring the adaptors -- CHUKWA-204 will solve that
problem.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: data collection
> Affects Versions: 0.1.2
> Reporter: Ari Rabkin
> Assignee: Ari Rabkin

> Right now, FileTailingAdaptors watch particular files. It'd be great to be
> able to watch a whole path: to say something like /var/logs/*, where new logs
> created in that directory get picked up.
