I see this plugin was recently updated. Does this new version supports distributed environment? Is the old version still available? Are there any release notes for this new version, what exactly was added or updated?

Hi,

It works same as old version. The only new feature is for HA environment where you can access logs from all nodes.just use node name in the relative path.

Thanks for reply. That means it should work in distributed environment now. If i have node for example "abc", then for reading the file say appian_functions_details.csv in perflogs folder i tried giving readcsvlog("abc/perflogs/appian_functions_details.csv"), but it doesn't work. Can you please give exact input i need to give for my use case here, so that i have a better understanding of it.
