- In Connection Details, select the SSH account required to connect to the log, or click the new link to add an account to the system (see Address Book).
Note: If you do not have any SSH accounts defined in XpoLog, the Add SSH account page is presented automatically. - In Log Path, type the path to the Over SSH log log on the remote machine
OR
Click Browse to open the System Files Browser of the SSH remote machine that you connected to, expand the folders to get to the desired log, and then click Select to display the log location in Log Path. - Optionally, append to the log path a name pattern to capture multiple files from the same log. (For pattern syntax, see XpoLog Patterns Language.)
- Optionally, define advanced settings for the SSH log – Data Access Mode, Files Attributes, Files Filters, and/or Regional Settings (see Configuring Advanced Log Settings).
- 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 administrationscreen opens. Apply patterns on the log data and save the log in XpoLog (see Applying Patterns on the Log).
Comments:
- Over SSH supports gz, tar and tar.gz logs without extracting them:
If you have a file archive.gz with a single file in it, it should be defined directly on that file archive.gz
If you have a file archive.tar / archive.tar.gz with a single file in it, it should be defined directly on that file archive.tar or archive.tar.gz
If you have a file archive.tar / archive.tar.gz, which contains inside multiple files (log-name.log, log-name.log.1, log-name.log.2, ..., log-name.log.N) it should be defined using the name pattern: archive.tar?log-name.log{string} or archive.tar.gz?log-name.log{string}
