Log Watcher

A Rust library to watch the log files.

Note: Tested only in Linux

Features:

1. Automatically reloads log file when log rotated
2. Calls callback function when new line to parse

Usage

First, add the following to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
logwatcher = "0.1"

Add to your code,

extern crate logwatcher;
use logwatcher::LogWatcher;

Create a callback function, which accepts String as input

fn parse_line(line: String) {
    println!("Line {}", line);
}

Register the logwatcher and watch it!

let mut log_watcher = LogWatcher::register("/var/log/check.log".to_string()).unwrap();
log_watcher.watch(parse_line);
