Description

Attempting to read syslog from head can lead to OOMs in error scenarios. For example, when there is a nw outage, all ENA dump fair amount of logs & can lead to rapid increase in size of the syslog. When the health-check agent or the EN goes for a reboot at such a stage, upon restart the tail plugin attempts to read the whole syslog in one go & that can make it run out of memory as the service is configured to use upto 128M of memory only.

Fixes # 78877, emf-642
