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, and optionally, the applications to tag to the logs directory.
Selecting the Logs Directory Location in XpoLog
By default, the logs directory is placed under Folders and Logs in XpoLog Center directly under Folders and Logs in the left pane of the Log Viewer. However, you can select or create another parent folder for the newly added logs directory. In this case, the logs directory is placed under the selected parent folder located under Folders and Logs.
To select the added logs directory's parent folder:
- In the General section of the Add Logs Directory Wizard, if you want to select for the new log a Parent folder other than the default (Folders and Logs), near Parent Folder, click select.
The Parent Folder page opens, displaying the available parent folders. - In the Parent Folder page, do one of the following:
Select an existing folder to be the parent of the new log, by clicking the folder on the Parent Folder page.
Click the Create New button, and in Enter new folder name, type the name of the new parent folder, and then click the Save button.
The selected folder appears in Parent Folder.
Tagging the Logs Directory to Application(s)
Optionally, you can tag the newly added logs directory to applications.
To tag the added logs directory to application(s):
- Near Tag to Application(s), click select.
The Tag to Application(s) page is displayed. - In the Tag to Application(s) page, do one of the following:
Select the checkboxes of the applications to tag to the log.
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.
