+# Available options are "pyinotify", "gamin", "polling", "systemd" and "auto".

# pyinotify: requires pyinotify (a file alteration monitor) to be installed.

# polling: uses a polling algorithm which does not require external libraries.

-# pyinotify, gamin, polling.
+# pyinotify, gamin, polling.

+# Note: if systemd backend is chosen as the default but you enable a jail
+# for which logs are present only in its own log files, specify some other
