On a Unix machine, you can bring into Xpolog logs that reside on the same machine or in a mounted directory to which you have direct access.

To add a local log

...

to XpoLog:
  1. In the Log Type Settings section, in Log Type, select Local.
  2. In Log Path, type the path to the log's location 
    OR
    C
    lick Browse and in the System Files Browser that opens, expand the folders to get to the desired log, and then click Select to display the log location in Log Path.
  3. Optionally, append to the log path a name pattern to capture multiple files from the same log. (For pattern syntax, see XpoLog Patterns Language.)
  4. Optionally, define advanced settings for the local log – Files Attributes, Files Filters, and/or Regional Settings (see Configuring Advanced Log Settings). 
  5. Click either of the following buttons:
    Save – XpoLog applies an automated pattern on the incoming log, and the Log Viewer opens displaying the parsed records of the new log. The log name is displayed in the left pane in its selected location under Folders and Logs. If you put in the log path a {string} pattern, the various files of the log appear in the left pane. Otherwise, only one file appears. You can perform regular actions on this log.
    Next – The Patterns administration screen opens. Apply patterns on the log data and save the log in XpoLog (see Applying Patterns on the Log).
