Adding a Hadoop HDFS Log

To add a Hadoop log to XpoLog:

1. In Connection Details, select the Hadoop 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 Hadoop accounts defined in XpoLog, the Add Hadoop account page is presented automatically.
2. In Log Path, type the path to the Hadoop log 
   OR
   Click Browse to open the System Files Browser of the Hadoop environment that you connected to, expand the folders to get to the desired log, and then click Select to display the path to the log 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 Hadoop 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).
