1. Under Advanced Settings, click Scan Method. 
   The Scan Method options open.
2. Select one of the following options:
   Use existing configuration (file names and content) and automatic matching (the default) - select this option to try and match patterns to detected logs by matching existing logs patterns, logs templates and also automatically assignment of patterns in case no match was detected. This method captures all readable files during scanning, however this is the slowest one.
   Use existing configuration (file names and content) - select this option to try and match patterns to detected logs by matching existing logs patterns and logs templates. Files for which no existing log patterns or templates were matched will not be captured.
   Use existing configuration (file names only) - select this option to try and match patterns by logs templates only. Files for which no templates were matched will not be captured. 

Defining File Name Patterns

...

1. Under Advanced Settings, click Files Name Pattern. 
   The Files Name Pattern options open.
2. Select one of the following options:
   Unite files with similar names (apply name pattern automatically) (the default) - all files with similar names (such as rotating files, files with date suffixes and files with numerical prefixes) will be captured as a single log type using a general name pattern.
   Unite files with similar suffix (apply name pattern only at the end of the file name) - all files with similar name suffixes (such as rotating files, files with date suffixes) will be captured as a single log type using a general name pattern.
   Capture each file separately (without name pattern) - a log type will be created for each file.

Defining Log Settings

By default, XpoLog indexes all incoming logs and runs Analytics on them. You can alter these defaults, by changing the log settings.
