How to configure which Heritrix report has to be uploaded in the metadata ARC/WARC file

Three settings properties control which heritrix reports are added to the metadata ARC or WARC file:

• settings.harvester.harvesting.metadata.heritrixFilePattern is a java pattern that allows you select which files in the crawl dir (not recursively) to include in the metadata ARC.
• settings.harvester.harvesting.metadata.reportFilePattern is also a java pattern that controls which subset of the files selected by heritrixFilePattern are to be considered as report files All the other files will be considered as setup files.
• settings.harvester.harvesting.metadata.logFilePattern is a third java pattern that controls which files in the logs subdirectory of the crawldir are to be added as log files to the metadata ARC.
