Copy Activity - Enable Logging - Need to provide log file name

Question

I am using the Enable logging option to log the details of the copy activity into a blob. Below are the options that I have set. The details of the copy activity are logged correctly in the blob. However, the log file name is 0304eec9-cabb-2849-b2c7-dd87fa75ea86_0.txt. I want to provide a meaningful name for this file. How can I do it ? Any pointers will be helpful.

Hello @Kothai Ramanathan (SC-ALT) ,

Unfortunately, you cannot provide log file name while Enable Logging in the copy activity.

Reason: Log file name is [auto-generated-GUID]

For more details, refer Session log in copy activity.

I would suggest you to provide feedback on the same:

Hey @Kothai Ramanathan (SC-ALT) ,
Unfortunately it is not possible to provide a user defined file name as it auto generates a GUID ID name.
As per MSFT docs :
