Goal

Logging Analytics is collecting and analysing server application logs in the Management Agent and has set up a new parser in the source to add new fields to the collected logs.

After that, in order to have past logs also captured with the new parser settings,  deleted the log collection settings (log groups, entities, parsers, sources) recreated them with the same settings as previous (except parser) and added the data, but only new logs are collected and past logs cannot be collected.

Previous logs were also collected, such as rotate logs, before the recreation.
