Zabbix 6.0.19: how to monitor dynamically generated logs?

[paxas]

On a Windows server i have a file directory where the logs from 2 different processes are being stored.

After each run these processes generate a separate .log file. One process runs 2 times every day, while the other runs 1 time per week. The exact hours vary widely.

I need to monitor only the newest .log files and search for certain keyword in them.

I read through documentation and some old discussions and attempted to create and Item Key like this (note: for testing purposes i tried to implement the log monitoring for just 1 of the 2 processes):

log[C:\temp\Jumis[A-Za-z]{5}\s-\s[A-Za-z]{5}\sfrom\s[A-Z]{4}\sto\s[A-Z]{3}\s[A-Z0-9_]{15,25}\([a-z0-9]{15}\).log,Failed,,,skip]

However, this resulted in error: "Cannot update item. Invalid key".

I verified in regex101.com that "Jumis[A-Za-z]{5}\s-\s[A-Za-z]{5}\sfrom\s[A-Z]{4}\sto\s[A-Z]{3}\s[A-Z0-9_]{15,25}\([a-z0-9]{15}\).log" matches all the sample log file names that i tested.

I tried various minor adjustments, like putting around the commas, etc. but it did not help.

So what would be the correct way to capture the log file name that is subject to change with every new generation?

first... use logrt(). log() requires hardcoded filename, as it is not meant for rotating files as you have there... for logrt you specify name with regex.
And you can put filename in ""-s just in case... All the windows and spaces in filenames is a pain in backside... May need also some extra escaping...
