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.
