The data can only be stored to a temporary file.<br/><br/>What you could do here is create a batch file which periodically copies the temporary file to a more permanent location. You could even integrate the batch file into LogViewPlus using an <a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/external_commands.html" id="if_insertedNode_1634279435757">External Command</a>. You may want to use the <a href="https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/argument_templates.html" id="if_insertedNode_1634279450006">log file name as an argument</a>.<br/><br/>Hope that helps,<br/><br/>Toby<br/>Fri, 15 Oct 2021 06:30:57 GMTLogViewPlus Support
