Hi Adam,
That's definitely a great idea :)
Could you open an issue about it?
Plans are to get back working on Nimrod in the coming weeks: this one and backups will probably be the next features to be implemented, so stay tuned :)
Cheers,

Hi,We're looking at monitoring metrics of individual servers on a load balanced, elastic API. Presently we aggregate logs together and pass them to Nimrod in a single file, but we'd really like to understand individual app server performance. To support this we'd ideally like to have a config reload/refresh functionality in Nimrod that allows for a changing number of configured log sources (servers) currently driving an API. Is such a feature currently in place? If not, it would be a great addition I think :)Regards,Adam Horwich--

Shall do, Sergio. Thanks!
On the same subject/mechanism, can you clarify me what Nimord currently uses to determine where to start from in a source log file when it is restarted? Does it scan for the last record it knows was successfully recorded, or does it just tail from the end?

It either tails from the end (the default), or scans from the
beginning if provided with the option "end : false" (I know, not
really a great option name) in the specific log section.
Keeping/Restoring log line numbers may be a quite expensive
operations: there may be some improvement in the area in the future,
but nothing really planned as of now, but I'm open to suggestions and
contributions :)
Cheers,
