8.3 Viewing Files On-line
Sometimes, it is useful to review a particular piece of historical data on-
line at the time you expect new events to appear in the log. PAS allows
you to retrieve historical data from a particular log without storing it to a
file. The data appears only in the window on your screen. You can save it
manually to the database.
To view the log data on-line, check the On-line button
on the PAS
toolbar, select the log you want to retrieve in the Logs menu, and then
click on the Poll button . Only new log records are retrieved from the
device. If you want to review the entire log from the beginning, click on
the Restore log button , and then click on the Poll button .
NOTE
When reading multi-section profile data, only the first section is available
for reading online.
See Chapter 9 Viewing Files for information on using different log views.
