Gerrit Jansen van Vuuren updated CHUKWA-454:
--------------------------------------------

    Attachment: CHUKWA-454.patch

This patch uses the commons Fileutils with the WildcardFileFilter to filter out 
files based on an optional argument.

 for(Object f: FileUtils.listFiles(dir, fileFilter, 
FileFilterUtils.trueFileFilter())) {
         scanDirHierarchy((File)f);
        }

Unfortunately the commons.io package does not have generics in yet so I had to 
do Object then cast to File.

And example of using it:

add DirTailingAdaptor test somedir  app*.log 
filetailer.CharFileTailingAdaptorUTF8 0




> DirTailingAdaptor Add option to Filter files.

> I would like to be able to point the DirTailingAdaptor at a directory but 
> only have it tail files matching to a certain pattern. 
> So I've made a change that allows the adaptor to recieve an optional filter 
> parameter and use the org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.WildcardFileFilter 
> class to filter out files.
> This allows you to for example point the adaptor at a tomcat log directory 
> and not have it tail catalina.out logs etc.
