logfile rotation-detection not working

[buanzo]

in monitor.py, Monitor.run(), there is code to detect when /var/log/fail2ban.log has rotated. It does not seem to be working on any of my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS systems.

If anyone can take a look...?

I'm not a python person (yet), so I can't offer a code fix, however, stat(1) returns inode number as one of the fields. If python's stat() can return that, you could monitor to see if the inode number changes? I will look into this and see if I can give a hand...

EDIT: Aha, looks like stat.ST_INO may be something to look at...
