How to monitor changing log files?

We'd like monitor a folder of date named text log files for a string but can't seem to find a solution that can handle the changing file names. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

file log search string

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm very much afraid the File Content Sensor is not able to "solve" this task. You could achieve this though with a self - written Custom Exe/Script Sensor.

Best regards.
