Importing custom Logs
  1. To import Custom Logs, Choose 'Automatically Identify' option from 'Choose Log Format' field

  2. You can choose to import the logs once or at a regular interval using the 'Time Interval' filed options. If you choose to import the logs once, select 'Import Once' option from this field. Alternatively, if you want to import the logs at a regular time interval, you can choose from the options 'Import Every Hour', 'Import Every Day' or 'Import Every <xxx> Minutes'

  3. Browse the the custom log using 'Choose File' button in the 'File Location' field

  4. If you want to import your custom logs on a periodical basis, and if your log name also changes at regular intervals, then you can mention it by checking 'Does the filename changes periodically' option. After checking the option, provide the filename pattern of the custom log in 'Filename Pattern' field. You can choose the pattern from the predefined list or you can also provide your own  pattern using '+' option.

Note:
Providing the filename pattern helps in identifying the custom logs on each periodical imports, even if its name is changed.

  1. Associate the custom logs to a host. You can also choose a host, that has already been added to the EventLog Analyzer server,using 'Existing Host' link

  2. You can choose to extract fields from your custom logs even before the import, so that your logs have those custom fields on import. Choose the 'Field Extraction' option for extracting fields from the custom logs
