LOG file monitoring

[Alan Sparks]

I think your first problem, as I understand, is that wildcards are not understood in the LOG
directive.  If you need to use wildcards, or handle conditions where the exact full file
pathname is not known, you need to use backticks and give a command that can print the
exact filenames.

You might experiment with using a client-local.cfg directive something like:
log:`/bin/ls /wls_domains/*/servers/*adminServer/logs/*domain.log`:10240

or
log:`/bin/echo /wls_domains/*/servers/*adminServer/logs/*domain.log`:10240

I have done similar things using a "find" command, as well.
