Filtering log entries

In Log Manager, you can display specific log entries by filtering out (removing) non-related log entries.

To display specific log entries:

1. In the device view, click Filter.

The sysLog - Filter dialog box opens.

2. In the Severity column, check the type of log entry or log entries to search for:
• All records
• INFO
• WARNING
• ERROR
• MFG
• FATAL
• blank

You can choose more than one type of log entry.

For definitions of the severity levels, refer to SysLog dialog box items and buttons. If you choose blank, Log Manager filters for log entries that contain a blank field.

3. To narrow your search, type a character string that is part of the log description in the "contains string" field of your selected row(s).
4. Click Filter.
5. The SysLog dialog box displays only the entries that satisfy the filtering criteria.
6. To restore all log entries in the SysLog dialog box:
1. Select only "All records" in the severity column.
2. Type "empty string"/"blank string" in the Contains string text box.
3. Click Filter.
7. To close the sysLog - Filter dialog box, click Close.
