Yes, I want it to run every 15 minutes and only add new events which have appeared in the last 15 minutes.

Yes the log file rotates at present its approximatly once a day, when the file rotates the previous one is also gziped. The rotation isn't synced with my script as its based on volume. If we can examine the old log file in the case of rotation that would be extremely helpful.

15 minutes of data before the time on the clock.
