Finding log information
You can filter the contents of the log file to find specific information within a large log file. There are two methods of finding information in the log:
•Basic filter - provides a simple filtering mechanism to search the log file for a specific keyword. The keyword search applies to all columns of the log file.
•Standard filter - perform a more detailed search of the log. With a standard search, you can set specific search criteria for each column of information in the log. You can also enable or disable a filter for greater search accuracy.
To perform a basic search of the log contents
1Go to File Browse > Logs.
2Select a device and log file.
3In the log view, select Column Settings at the top of the page.
4Set the Search to Basic.
