Then, this creates problems in the 3.32 version that weren't in the 2.*
versions.

I am using a logfile created by WN. The 2.* versions recognized the log
format just fine. The 3.32 version has not the foggiest idea of what is in
there. I did finally manage to come up with a logformat that is working.

How do I specify this custom logformat on the command line so I can specify
different log files for it to analyze?

I am now having to create 2-3 times as many config files as I did under the
2.* versions. This is a nightmare!
