LogStreamer will not Walk Symlinks #1879

Open eflee opened 8 years ago

eflee commented 8 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to get LogStreamer to walk everything under /var/log ending in .log. We have a mounted external storage solution that we use to persist our application logs that makes use of Symlinks under /var/log/{app} and LogStreamer doesn't seem to be able to follow these.

See PR: https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/pull/1986 This adds glob_pattern as a config option which, if specified, uses Glob instead of Walk. May help address your issue.
