Read logs in windows server application

[mohit1993]

Hi guys,

I want to read logs from my application so i uses below item for that.

logrt[D:\Bin\Service\Server-Logs\appLog_1_21Feb2018-093016.log,,,,,,]

Its works great.

logs format like this appLog_1_ddMMMyyyy-hhmmss.log so each day its generate new log file and every time service restart its create new log file.

so my question is that how do i monitor logs for services.

Hi,

what do you mean by logs for services ? Some Windows event logs ?

Then where is the difference between your example

logrt[D:\Bin\Service\Server-Logs\appLog_1_21Feb2018-093016.log,,,,,,]

and other service logs ? you just define by the regexp, in which lines in your log file you are interested
