How to change the file name of engine log files

[kuze]

Hi community,

I'm considering using a monitoring agent to monitor Engine Log files of scheduled workflows on AlteryxServer.

To do this, I need to specify the name of log files, which the following document says will be named "Alteryx_Log_[number].log".
As far as I've tried, [number] is supposed to be UNIX timestamp.

Can I customize the file name myself, for example, "Alteryx_Log_[workflow name].log"?

Thanks,

Hey @kuze ,

Unfortunately, you can't.

You can build a workflow that reads all log files and rename them to the workflow name. Not ideal but that is what we have for today 😅

Hi @fmvizcaino,

Just knowing that I couldn't do it helped me a lot.
Thank you very much!
