Network Analyzer

Customizing the Network Analyzer log view

Log messages can be displayed in either Raw or Formatted view.

Raw view displays log messages exactly as they appear in the log file.

Formatted view displays log messages in a columnar format. Each log field in a log message appears in its own column, aligned with the same field in other log messages, for rapid visual comparison. When displaying log messages in Formatted view, you can customize the log view by hiding, displaying and arranging columns and/or by filtering columns, refining your view to include only those log messages and fields that you want to see.

To display logs in Raw or Formatted view

1Go to a page which displays log messages, such as Tools > Network Analyzer > Real-time.

2Select Formatted or Raw.

If you select Formatted, options appear that enable you to display and arrange log columns and/or filter log columns.

Displaying and arranging log columns

When viewing logs in Formatted view, you can display, hide and re-order columns to display only relevant categories of information in your preferred order.

For most columns, you can also filter data within the columns to include or exclude log messages which contain your specified text in that column. For more information, see “Filtering logs” on page 149.
