See Procedure 6-3 for information about creating saved filters.
To remove a filter from the log, select the filter in the Filter sub-tab and choose
Log→Remove Selected Filters, or click on the Remove filter button in the main
tool bar.
If the log display is static, such as for an archived log or the result of a Find All
operation, go to step 21.
To edit the log display properties, choose Edit→Edit Log from the LogViewer main
menu, or click on the Edit log button in the log tab tool bar, and perform the
following steps.
i 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.
ii Configure the Auto-Tail parameter to specify whether the log tab
dynamically displays the log updates.
iii Click on the OK button to close the Local Log File form.
To pause the display of log-file updates, choose Log→Pause from the LogViewer
main menu, or click on the Pause log updates button in the log tab tool bar.
To resume the display of log-file updates, choose Log→Initialize Connection from
the LogViewer main menu, or click on the Initialize log updates button in the log
tab tool bar.
By default, a dynamic log view focuses on a new log entry. To focus the display on
an earlier log entry and prevent the display from automatically focusing on a new
log update, click on the Follow latest updates button in the log tab tool bar. Click
on the button again to enable the default behavior.
To compare logs in real time, perform the following steps.
i Choose Log→Specify Compare from the LogViewer main menu, or click on
the Add log to compare button on the log tab tool bar. The Compare Files
form opens.
ii Use the form to navigate to the log-file location.
iii Select a log file and click on the Add button between the form panels. The
log is listed in the panel on the right.
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 Click on the OK button. The Compare Files form closes, and a second panel
opens on the log tab to display the specified log.
