Description

Originally when the exec source was implemented there was no SDK. It would be useful to have an API provided in the sdk that works like the exec source, thus removing the requirement of having an entire agent on hosts where the exec source is used for tailing logs.

Maybe we can provide a standalone client that implements it too, which users can use off the shelf.
