After XpoLog connects to the logs directory in the local or remote machine and scans it for logs, you can now define under which parent folder in XpoLog to place the newly added logs directory, the collection policy to use, and optionally, the applications to tag to the logs directory.

Click the Create New button, and in the New Application dialog box, in Name, type the name of the new application, and then click the Add button. The application is added to the New Application list, and its checkbox is marked.
Selecting the Log Collection Policy
XpoLog uses a log collection policy to determine how XpoLog server should collect the log directory information into its repository, and how long the logs should be archived. By default, XpoLog uses the default log collection policy. However, you can also use a predefined log collection policy (see Defining a Log Collection Policy).
To define a log collection policy:
- In Collection Policy, select the collection policy to use.
