I want to use File Content sensor to scan my log file for some alarming message. We are using log4net Rolling log for logging. Our log File name is something like HeadEndService_20200925.log. When I tried File Content sensor, it only accept a fixed log file name. I am wondering if it is possible to make the file name more flexible with some variation such as Date in out example?
Can I put a Date in File Name field in File Content Sensor
