This feature lets you filter for events that occurred at specific
times, as follows:
Today Only: Only the events for the current day are displayed.
Device Time: Shows the events according to the time configured
on the switch.
Start Date/Time: Filters for events from a specific date and time
to the present. Put a check in the checkbox to bring up a calendar.
Set the date and time that you want the filtering to start from. All
events from the Start date/time to the present are displayed.
For the Web Browser interface, after checking Start Date/Time,
you have to click inside the text box in order to bring up the
calendar. When you have made your calendar choices, click the A
icon at the lower right of the calendar panel.
End Date/Time: Filters for events from a specific date and time to
a specific date and time. First select the Start Date/Time
(described above); check End Date/Time to set the ending date
and time.
For the Web Browser interface, after checking End Date/Time,
you have to click inside the text box in order to bring up the
calendar. When you have made your calendar choices, click the A
icon at the lower right of the calendar panel.
Filters for a particular word or string. Key the word or string into
the Information text box. Only events containing that word or
string are displayed. Wildcards (? for single characters; * for
multiple characters) and the keyword or are supported. E.g., h*ds
would return hands and hoods; h?nd would return hand and hind,
but not hard; h*ds or h*ks would return hands and hooks.
Filters for specific users. First put a check in the User checkbox;
then key in the user's Username; then click Apply. Only events
containing that Username are displayed.
Note: If the User checkbox is not checked here in the Filter panel,
the entire User column does not appear in the main panel.
Filters based on the severity rating of the event. Least events
appear in black; Less events appear in blue; Most events appear
in red.
First put a check in the Severity checkbox; then check the severity
options you want to filter for (you can check more than one item).
Only events that match the severity ratings you specified appear
in the display.
Note: If the Severity checkbox is not checked here in the Filter
panel, the entire Severity column does not appear in the main
panel.
Click to apply the filter choices.
Click this button to clear the entries in the dialog box and start with
a clean slate.
