Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NarrativeScience-old/log.io/issues/69

It should be very usedull featuree, if logio can run some script (sh,py) to generate harvester.conf, instead hard writing log files paths. For example, if logio can't find harvester.conf, it just execute harvester.sh script which returns in stdout list of log files paths , or if harvester.conf contains some flag (#!/bin/bash) - logio execute it.

In solidarity with Simplycissimys, because I have the same problems, and I will kill one kitten per day until it will not solve

It would also be great if there were more harvester.conf examples provided somewhere. The existing example is fine to get started, but doesn't show the full capabilities that I suspect this utility has.

It should be relatively trivial to write a script to generate the harvester config file, as it's a very simple JSON structure; you could write the script in python/ruby/java/etc... and have it serialize a JSON string and write to a file.

The provided configuration files demonstrate every available configuration option, you simply have to fill out the harvester configuration with additional keys (stream names) that map to a list of multiple file paths.
