Note — The log file can be in compressed or uncompressed format.
iv If LogViewer cannot determine the type of log that the file contains, for
example, if a log file is renamed, it sets the Type to Other. Use the Type
drop-down menu to specify the log type, if required.
v Configure the Max. Messages parameter to specify the maximum
number of entries that are listed on the log tab. LogViewer removes the
oldest entries as required to keep the number of entries at or below this
value.
vi Configure the Auto-Tail parameter to specify whether the log tab
dynamically displays the log updates.
vii Click on the OK button. The Local Log File form closes.
e Drag and drop a log file into a section of the LogViewer main window that

i Choose one of the following options:
• New View—specifies that the log is displayed on a new log tab
Replace Existing File—specifies that the log tab displays the new log
•
instead of the current log
Add to View—specifies that the entries in the new log and the entries
•
in the current log are merged into one list on the same log tab
• Add to Compare View—specifies that the new log is to be displayed
on the same log tab as the current log in a separate panel for
comparison
ii Click on the OK button. The new log is displayed as specified.
A log tab opens to display the most recent entries in a log. If the log is active and
the Auto-Tail parameter is enabled, the list scrolls upward to display new log
entries as they are generated.
Note — The Auto-Tail parameter for a log is enabled by default.
