Comment 1 for bug 1052174

This happens because the way debug-log works it is just a buffer with a 'last-read' pointer maintained by the client.. so until the client gets through them all, they'll keep spamming.

Beacuse of the distributed nature of juju, I think this approach will not work at all. A more real-time approach where agents just send logs to a log-rebroadcaster daemon which keeps a fixed ring buffer which clients can follow/tail makes a lot more sense.
