Some applications generate several log files of the same type simultaneously. GLA should be able to monitor several files that are being updated simultaneously. Currently, the user can pass a regular expression for the log file name in the sensor configuration to parse multiple log files in the same directory. This is to support an application that uses a rotating log file mechanism. The current support assumes that only the most recently created log file is being updated with new records and it only monitors one file for updates. The other log files are static and represent events from previous application invocations. It reads those files only once. This feature would extend the current functionality by continuously monitoring all log files that match the regular expression for updates.
Theme: Primary - Simple to use An adapter file can be created to parse several log files with the output going to a single file by configuring multiple contexts in the adapter file. However, each context will parse a specific log file which means the names of those files need to be known. This feature will make this scenario easier to handle because it can be handled with a single context by specifying a regular expression for the log file name.
This feature needs to be added to the documentation.
This requirement comes from IBM AC group.
Retargetting to 4.2 after discussion with requirement submitter.
Setting target to future so it doesn't show up in 4.2 feature query.
Due to lack of resources this enhancement request is resolved as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen if you consider it's a required enhancement.
Closing.
As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As such, TPTP is not delivering enhancements. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement is resolved as WONTFIX. For this enhancement to be considered, please re-open with an attached patch including the Description Document (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/process/development/description_documents.html), code (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/resources/TPTPDevGuide.htm), and test cases (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/process/TPTP_Testing_Strategy.html).
