format for the archived log file is Smart P&ID-[yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss].log. For example,
Smart P&ID-2024_04_23_15_30_32.log
Yes, you can customize both the filename and path of the enhanced log file and its archive file. In the AdvMainLog <target> element, change the folder and default values for the fileName and archiveFilename attributes.
