That's a good method, also, if you're just looking for counts of a very general
regex.   I've found this approach useful when I need to watch a log that isn't
already getting fed to the central loghost, or I'm just looking for counters
and not content.

One caveat of logmatch is that some values are reset upon log rotation
(logMatchCurrentCounter) or reading (logMatchCounter) - it's a feature :-D
