<containerConfig>

      <configFiles baseDir="${ENGINE_WORK_DIR}/fabric/webroot/app_data" include="log4net.config">

       <regex pattern="500MB" replacement="507MB" />

       </configFiles>

</containerConfig>

4.) click Finish and publish the change to the component from Action Wheel.

5.) Go to Engines > Engine tab. You will see the web player component turned red, indicating component restart required due to change.

6.) restart the component and once its up & running, check the file @ engine’s work directory. For example in this case it was: C:\qa\engine\work\win64vm239-0\fabric\webroot\app_data\log4net.config
