:
ß New binary log files are automatically stored in the ca\newlogs subdirectory located under the installation directory, hence it is not necessary to include a path with the Output filename.

(¯If you have established a filter that excludes configuration entries and you want to preserve that filtering in the output file, select the Don't add config entries check box.
(òIf the output file name already exists and you want to replace the existing file, select the Overwrite file if exists check box. If you do not select this check box, and enter a filename that already exists, you will receive an error message.
(cClick the Create New Log File button to process the input files and create the new binary log file.

H ;  Note
:
It is possible to construct a filter that prevents any events from being added to the new log file. If this is the case, no log file will be created. However, even if this is the case, when the Overwrite option is selected any file with the same name as the output file will be lost.
