I have a few File Age monitors running that I'm having an issue reading the results of. If I have the monitor e-mail me the results, it's nicely formatted (ie each flagged file is on a separate line with the violation), but the results are truncated. If I have it write to a text log, all of the results are there, but it is difficult to read (ie. the flagged files and violations all run together). For the text log file action, I have tried every option (UTF-8, Unicode, including/excluding BOM), but it makes no difference. Does anyone have a suggestion? Kind regards, Colleen |

Colleen, Each entry into the log file is put on it's own line. So I'm wondering if you're seeing wrapping because of the text editor that you are using. When I open my text files (using Notepad++) I see each entry on it's own line. Yes, the lines are long as they have lots of information but there is a line return at the end of each line. My action is using the default setting of writing in Unicode. There is no option to add an additional line return after each line entered in the log file. Thanks Please make sure to mark your questions accepted when you have your answer by clicking the gray check mark to the left of the answer. When I open it with Notepad ++ (version 6.6.6), the entries are all on one really long line. When I use the regular Notepad or Word (Professional Plus 2010), it is how I displayed it in the above section - with no line returns. I will change all of them to Unicode. Do I want to include the BOM too? Thanks! -Colleen

Hi Colleen, We have a new build ready for you that will allow you to record new line characters in your log file. The new build is in preview. Thanks Please make sure to mark your questions accepted when you have your answer by clicking the gray check mark to the left of the answer. Hi Quinn, I applied the new build yesterday, but it's still not displaying with the new line characters in the text file. Unfortunately, each violation is not broken into individual lines. I opened the txt file in Notepad, Notepad ++, Wordpad and Word. In Notepad ++ it displays all on 1 line. In the others, it is one large block of text. Would you like for me to send you the txt file? I really appreciate you working on this issue! -Colleen

Hi Quinn, Any progress on this issue? I want to send the reports to another person so that they can clean up old data, but I can't if the e-mail truncates the information and the txt file is not legible. Thanks. -Colleen

Hi Colleen, In the Write to Log File action did you select the new check box “allow new lines”? Just to make sure, the new option is in the preview release, is that the version you installed?

Hi Quinn, Thanks for the quick response. Here's a sample from the e-mail: 18 Jun 2014 12:35:02 AM \ZCM-PXEC$SharesuserbackupsProfileBackupzhengzhengDesktopqifuDocuments and

Thanks for looking into this! -Colleen |
