# tail-file

Watch files matching `globs` patterns for new data, split by `separator`, and emit each record as `{payload: string}`.  File positions and inodes are tracked in `db` to handle log rotation.  Re-evaluates globs every `glob-interval` seconds to discover new files.

## Config

**Required:**
- `globs`: Array of glob patterns for files to tail

**Optional:**
- `separator`: Record delimiter (default: `\n`)
- `db`: State file path (default: `tail.taildb`)
- `glob-interval`: Glob re-evaluation interval in seconds (default: `60`)
- `interval`: File poll interval in milliseconds (default: `1000`)
- `from-start`: Read new files from the beginning instead of current end (default: `false`)

## Example

```yaml
pipeline:
  tail-file:
    config:
      globs:
        - /var/log/app/*.log
      separator: "\n"
      db: taildb.json
      from-start: true
```
