Hello.

I need to create a logfile every 5 minutes. My settings is generating a log file every minute but i don't know how to set every 5 minutes. It is:

```auto
  file{
              path => "/home/govindo/Escritorio/ftpTest-%{+YYYY-MM-dd_hh:mm}.txt"
             # index => "ftpTest-%{+YYYY-MM-dd_hh:mm}.txt"
           }

```

Thanks for your helping
