# igloo Input Plugin The igloo plugin "tails" a logfile and parses each log message. By default, the igloo plugin acts like the following unix tail command: ``` tail -F --lines=0 myfile.log ``` - `-F` means that it will follow the _name_ of the given file, so that it will be compatible with log-rotated files, and that it will retry on inaccessible files. - `--lines=0` means that it will start at the end of the file (unless the `from_beginning` option is set). see http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tail.1.html for more details. ### Configuration: ```toml ```
