Figure 6-2 LogViewer GUI showing log tabs
The lower panel of a log tab contains the following sub-tabs:
• Preview—displays the unparsed log-file text for the currently selected log entries
• Filter—lists and permits management of the currently active filters for the log
• Status—displays status information about the current log
• Plugin—displays information about the plug-ins associated with the log
• Legend—displays a legend that correlates log file names to the numbers in the
File column on a log tab that contains multiple open logs, for example, merged
logs; is not shown for log comparisons
The LogViewer GUI allows you to drag and drop a log file from another application
into the GUI window. If you drop a file onto an open log tab, LogViewer provides
options such as merging or comparing the log with another.
You can open a tab to list static log entries, such as the contents of an archived log
or a snapshot of entries from an active log, and can pause the updates to active logs.
The GUI also includes a text-search function.
