type:

- Check the check box of the event type that you want to view (you can view
more than one type by selecting the appropriate check boxes). All events with
the selected types are selected in the filter dialog table of entries.
- Click OK to activate the filter. All events with the selected types are
displayed in the editor.
- Filter by message source, so that the log only displays messages from
one source:
- Deselect all sources, click the Deselect All button
under the source check boxes, or clear the check boxes for all sources.
- Check the check box of the event source that you want to view (you can
view more than one source by selecting the appropriate check boxes). You can
also view all sources click by clicking the Select All button
under the source check boxes. All events with the selected sources are selected
in the filter dialog table of entries.
- Click OK to activate the filter. All events with
the selected sources are displayed in the editor.
- Filter by timestamp, so that the log hides messages generated before a
specified timestamp:
- Open the Hide Events generated before drop-down
list by clicking the down arrow. Select the timestamp you want to filter on.
All events generated before this timestamp are deselected in the filter dialog
table of entries.
- Click OK to activate the filter. All events generated
before the reference timestamp are hidden in the editor. All other events
are displayed.
You can combine filtering options (type, source, time stamp). The
combinations you select are identified in the table (entries are automatically
ticked or non-ticked to indicate the choices you make). The editor is also
updated based on the events tables which combines all filtering options. Ticked
entries are displayed, non-ticked entries are hidden. For incoming new events,
the filtering options based on type, source, timestamp are applied.
