That's not the kind of scenario I meant with "the general case" :-)
For situations like that, I expect us to have a log-tailer that
gives a top(1) like display of whatever we have selected.
I should add here I envision a generic set of arguments to logtailers
which the libvarnishapi should handle for programs:
-i tag[,tag...] -- include these tags
-x tag[,tag...] -- exclude these tags
If no -i option is given a '-i all' is implict.
-I regexp -- only data matching regexp
-X regexp -- exclude data matching regexp
-C match regexps case-insensitive
So for this case your you present, the command would be:
varnish-top -i header -C -I user-agent
