To prepare for planned improvements that increase the performance and stability of our log shipping systems, we are changing the naming convention of files sent with HTTP Request Log Shipping. The change will be deployed on Monday, August 19, 2024, between 15:00-17:00 UTC (11:00 am – 1:00 pm ET).
This deployment date and time are subject to change.
The export path, which includes the date, is not changing. Currently, log files shipped to an AWS S3 bucket are named according to this format.
%H:%M_%{random_hex}_%{index}.%{extension}Here’s an example of what a log file name looks like today.
17:00_8ZKWFWYX_0.gzThe naming convention of log files is changing to the following format.
%H:%M-%{UUID}.%{extension}Here’s an example of what a log file name will look like once the changes are deployed.
17:00-40a74671-7555-4ae6-8132-fd8d26347779.gzWho is affected by this change?
All customers with HTTP Request Log Shipping enabled will see changes to the naming convention of log files shipped to their S3 bucket after Monday, August 19, 2024.
Customers who ingest log files into log management and analytics tools (e.g. GoAccess, ELK Stack) may need to update configurations in those tools if they rely on the current naming convention.
If you have any questions related to the upcoming change, please open a support ticket and we will be happy to assist.
