Command Substitution

Open jonli662 opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

Nice exporter! Is it possible to have shell expansions (command substitution) in the pattern of the config file? I have tried but not got it to work. If it isn't possible today, could you implement it?

For example to catch a file with todays date:

/tmp/*_`date +%Y%m%d`.log

Any thoughts on this yet?

I guess it is possible to have some templating but it won't be an open shell execution. It would be a huge security risk.

Sounds great! Hope you can implement it, I'm afraid I don't have skills to contribute on this.

@jonli662 The expression /tmp/*_{{now.Local.Format "20060102"}}.log should do the job with latest version
