How to add a DATE parameter to the COLLECTOR log files

Issue

COLLECTOR logs are not segregated by date, so some log files contain old, irrelevant information.

Cause

By default, COLLECTOR log files are named based on the process ID of Interpret process, rather than by date. 

Solution

Add a DATE parameter to the log file name to further segregate the information by date.

1. In the Manager module, click Plugins > ReadSoft COLLECTOR.
2. On the Logging tab, highlight the Rolling File Log and click the Edit button.
3. In the Settings section, update the log file name to include the %DATE% parameter, which places the date in the file name as shown: Email-%PID%-%DATE%.log
