  Description     : Parse log files, generate metrics for Graphite and
  Ganglia

From the website:

Logster is a utility for reading log files and generating metrics in
Graphite or Ganglia or Amazon CloudWatch. It is ideal for visualizing
trends of events that are occurring in your application/system/error
logs. For example, you might use logster to graph the number of
occurrences of HTTP response code that appears in your web server logs.

Logster maintains a cursor, via logtail, on each log file that it reads
so that each successive execution only inspects new log entries. In
other words, a 1 minute crontab entry for logster would allow you to
generate near real-time trends in Graphite or Ganglia or Amazon
CloudWatch for anything you want to measure from your logs.
