Hi,

Look at the cofiguration part of the README for an example:

https://github.com/lucagrulla/node-tail#configuration

but my log file name is changed, so your node-tail configuration is not support now i think, your configuration only support time seperator, tail file name is changing every day, now i intend to use setInterval function to deal with it, any good method to deal with it? thanks for example: tail = new Tail("2018-09-17-log.txt"); tail = new Tail("2018-09-18-log.txt"); tail = new Tail("2018-09-19-log.txt");

If the file name is chaging then the client code has to deal with it. The library handles file rotation accordignly.
