By default, LogShark picks up its configuration settings from the config file that is located in the <LogShark_install_location>\Config\LogSharkConfig.json file. Some of these configuration settings can be overridden at the command line. Other settings can only be set in the configuration file.

One of the neat features LogShark 4.1 provides, is the ability to easily include your custom workbooks in a LogShark run. You can specify a folder where your custom workbooks are located in CustomWorkbookTemplatesDir variable in the config file. Make sure that the extract file name(s) in your customized workbooks match the name(s) of the extract file(s) generated by LogShark run. During the next run LogShark will include your workbooks in the run. Please note that if you modify workbooks in LogShark's <LogShark_install_location>/Workbooks folder, all your subsequent runs will be affected.
NOTE: You will need to escape backslashes by using double slashes.
"CustomWorkbookTemplatesDir": "C:\\Users\\Full Path\\My Awesome Workbooks",
By default, LogShark saves the resulting workbooks in an Output folder in the directory from where it was ran. If you want to specify a different directory, add a full path to the OutputDir variable in the config file.
NOTE: You need to escape backslashes by using double slashes.
"OutputDir": "C:\\Users\\Full Path\\All the answers you need",
LogShark creates a project folder where all generated workbooks are saved. The default name of a project is Timestamp-MachineName-FileName, where Timestamp is the timestamp that indicates when the logs were processed, MachineName is the name of the computer where LogShark was run, and FileName is the name of the archive file. The project contains all the workbooks for the archive file. If you want to replace MachineName-FileName portion with your own RunID, you can do so by specifying the Run ID in the command line. The resulting project folder will be named Timestamp-RunID, where RunID is the runID you provided in the command line.

If you are working on several logsets at the same time, having several Apache workbooks open at the same time can get confusing quickly. With this version you can differentiate between workbooks by attaching the name of the logset to the workbook name by setting AppendLogsetNameToOutput to true. The resulting workbooks will be named **
"AppendLogsetNameToOutput": true
You can also override the config value in command line using --workbookname "<string>"command.
LogShark generates saves run summaries as logs in the LogShark’s <LogShark_install_location>\Logs folder. You can specify the format to be JSON by flipping the Json switch to true.
"Json": true,
