This is a limitation in the server. The pg_logdir_ls function needs the default logfile format to ensure it can reliably figure out the log date: if (strcmp(Log_filename, "postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log") != 0) ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE), (errmsg("the log_filename parameter must equal 'postgresql-%%Y-%%m-%%d_%%H%%M%%S.log'")))); You can still use per-day logs with the default filename of course - you'll just need to ignore the time part. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
