Rotating Log Files

You can monitor rotating log files using an appropriate wildcard entry to specify the log file entries. The wildcard syntax is platform dependent and lets you use the asterisk (*) for any number of characters and the question mark (?) to indicate any single character. The agent monitors the most recent matching log file and automatically switches to the next rolling log file as it is created and updated.
