Log collection from changing file names
ebjers
I have logs that I need to collect with NxLog, these logs are in a .log file that has a name format [YYYY][MM][DD].request.log The log file name changes every day and if the logs roll over during the day they will be named with .request#.log
I need to capture [YYYY]-[MM]_[DD].request.log for the current date
For example today is Nov 18 2021 and I have these files 2021_11_18.request.log 2021_11_17.request.log 2021_11_16.request.log 2021_11_15.request.log
I would need to read 2021_11_18.request.log and ignore the rest
And tomorrow (Nov 19) I would need to read 2021_11_19.request.log
I already know how to read log files and send them to my syslog collector, my question is how can I get NxLog to only read the log from the current day?
