How to fetch logs recursively, when the files may have a number of different file extensions?
#1
DS_534595
I traverse `/var/log/myAPPLICATION*` like shown below to harvest everything below in the folder structure, which has .log as extension.
The challenge is now: What if there are occurences of logfiles that have e.g. .txt extension? Is it possible to use some conditional to that File line in the Input directive?
Something like
` File "/var/log/myAPPLICATION/*.[log|txt]"`
```
Module im_file
File "/var/log/myAPPLICATION/*.log"
Recursive True
SavePos True
ReadFromLast True
Exec to_syslog_ietf();
```

Something like
File "/var/log/myAPPLICATION/*.[log|txt]"
<Input appLogs>
Module im_file
File "/var/log/myAPPLICATION/*.log"
Recursive True
SavePos True
ReadFromLast True
Exec to_syslog_ietf();
</Input>
You could create several File lines:
<Input in>
Module im_file
File '/var/log/*.log'
File '/var/log/*.txt'
