Hello,

We have application that has dynamic log path:

For Example: **/app\_log/docker\_admin/containers/storage/overlay-containers/be776d2e8d3494076315c68c68a58cbcf36874126595f63094f831cc6c01a36f/userdata/ctr.log**

where “ **be776d2e8d3494076315c68c68a58cbcf36874126595f63094f831cc6c01a36f** ” is the dynamic **container id** which is changing after each execution.

Please advise how we can implement custom log configuration for the above case in Dynatrace.

Thanks,

Payal

Hi&nbsp;[@payal\_bid](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/59479)

You may test:

```markup
/app_log/docker_admin/containers/storage/overlay-containers/#/userdata/ctr.log

```

let me know if it’s works

Just to know, if you put the current containerID, does it work?
