Has anyone used RRDTool? Basically, it's a Round Robin Data Tool, that saves data based upon the number of records you wish. This is great as a logging tool, as I do not want to save unlimited amounts of data in a log, just the last 10,000 records (or whatever) for instance. That way I don't need to monitor the size of the file, or build a purge mechanism. The tool will do that (in theory) for me.
Has anyone used a similar process they could recommend?
My current method of logging reads in a log file, appends data (a record) to it, and writes it back out.
