The fetchlog utility displays the last new messages of a logfile.
It is similar like tail (1) but offers some extra functionality for
output formatting. To show only the new messages appeared since the
last call fetchlog uses a bookmark to remember which messages have
been fetched.
fetchlog works on syslog generated logfiles as well as other logfiles.
fetchlog can be used standalone or as a Nagios (TM) plugin. Together
with Net-SNMP one can look at/monitor new messages in remote logfiles.
