Retrieval Results area
The Retrieval Results area displays the list of log information that was retrieved according the
criteria you selected in the Retrieval Criteria area. The information is displayed in a table that you
can sort by clicking column headings.
While the Log Browser is retrieving records, you can monitor the progress of the retrieval by
following the progress counter. This counter also displays the elapsed time and the number of
records found. You can stop the retrieval by clicking the Stop button.
The Log Browser displays all the records it has found, to a set maximum display limit. The
maximum display limit is 3000 records. Most log files exceed this limit; when this happens, you
cannot view the remaining records in the log file. If this is the case, try using filter criteria for a
specific date or dates to reduce the number of results.
You can sort the contents of the table by clicking the headings in the table. You can view details
about a log record by selecting a log record or multiple log records in the Retrieval Results area.
To filter information displayed in the Retrieval Results table, you can select or clear the check
boxes in the Show area below the Retrieval Results table. You can filter the results by alarm
severity: Debug, Info, Warn, or Error.
