- Sort physical files by – specify the option that will ensure that all the files in the log that are being captured are sorted correctly: last update time (default) or filename.
Note: It is recommended to order according to the last update time, because XpoLog assumes that one file is written and closed in the source log, before another is written and closed. - File rotation policy – define the nature of rotation between the captured files of the log:
- Cyclic – Files are overridden as part of the file rotation and log file names are modified during a rotation cycle.
- New appending – File names are unique and are not changed as part of the rotation; however, the list of files changes as new files are added.
- Static – The list of files never changes. Relevant for logs repository where the files are not changed.
- Get files information from - XpoLog retrieves information on files that are being collected in order to keep continuous collection (last modified time, file's size, etc.). In order to maximize efficiency, it is done by default on the directory level however in some cases (seen many times on Windows) the directory returns wrong information such as file size zero or an older last modified time - in such cases it is recommended to retrieve the information directly from the collected files which usually solves the case.
- Patent directory (default) - information retrieved from the parent directory.
- Each file directly - information retrieved directly from the files
- Add another log path– Clicking this link opens another Log path field, enabling you to add more than one source log into a single XpoLog log.
