Re: [Logs-devel] :relative-timeout vs :timeout

[Jim Prewett]

Hi Vijay,

There is both a relative timeout and an absolute timeout (once again, 
borrowed from Logsurfer).  the difference is that an absolute timeout 
happens at a particular time and a relative timeout is an amount of time 
since you've last matched a message.

make sense?
