Messing with logfiles before Hobbit sees them

Shire folk:

I have a log file that I need to pass through a filter before Hobbit reviews it.  I know I can simply some up with some "tail -f | filter > updated.file" kludge.  Is there a way to get Hobbit to do this when it reads the file?  Any ideas?

Why not just use the ignore feature to have hobbit filter out the things that you dont want it to see?
