in the "text log" test, can one use wild cards (*.*, or *.log) to search all the files in a sub-directory for a text string? We put all of our log files in a sub-directory and only want to know if it finds the words that would indicate that there was an error in a log.
No, single test will not check multiply files.
Also note: Text Log test checks only NEW records, records added since previous test probe. If you want to scan entire file, use Compare Files test
Yes, each test checks 1 file
May be you want to check just 1 newest file?
If you want to check entire files (not just new records), you may use Shell Script test method and standard command line utility "find", it supports wildcards and may check many files.
