Additionally, if you are using a date-based file name pattern, you can control whether you want receive alerts every time the log file name has changed.

Note: OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer prevents the assignment of schedules that share overlapping time periods. For example, if you have a default schedule set up for a resource monitor, you cannot set up an additional plan because Default_Schedule_Plan is defined for 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. In order to add other plans you must modify or remove Default_Schedule_Plan.
