I'm trying to stream some syslog data into Meteor collections via node.js. It's working fine, but the Meteor client polling cycle of ~10sec is too long of a cycle for my tastes - I'd like it be be ~1 second.
Client-side collection inserts via console are fast and all clients update instantly, as it's using DDP. But a direct MongoDB insert from the server side is subject to the polling cycle of the client(s).
So it appears that for now I'm relegated to using DDP to insert updates from my node daemon.
In the ddp-client package example, I'm able to see messages I've subscribed to, but I don't see how to actually send new messages into the Meteor collection via DDP and node.js, thereby updating all of the clients at once...
Any examples or guidance? I'd greatly appreciate it - as a newcomer to node and Meteor, I'm quickly hitting my limits.
