belt & suspenders.  i'd do 2 setups - one for diffs when triggered
(by syslog or what have you) and one run every hour.

what if the router you triggered on was not reachable?  or if your
collection machine could not log into it?  unless you have something
periodic going, you could loose that change & never catch it.
