Searching for Logs and Traces 

Use

You can search for log and trace records that meet certain filter criteria. In any predefined or custom view, you can:

●      Enter filter criteria first and then perform a search within the records that meet these filter criteria.

●      Perform a search within all records displayed without entering additional filter criteria.

Procedure

       1.      Choose Show Search.

       2.      From the Search By dropdown box, select a content by which you want to search.

More information: Customizing Columns for Logs and Traces.

       3.      In the adjacent dropdown box select a search criterion, and then in the next field enter the search string.

When selecting the search criterion, you can select, for example, contains (wildcards) or does not contain (wildcards) and use an asterisk (*) to represent zero or more characters in your search string.

For text formatted logs and traces, you can search only by message and by data source location.

       4.      To go to the next record that meets the search criteria, choose  Find Next Log Record.

       5.      To go to the previous record that meets the search criteria, choose  Find Previous Log Record.

In the search, log records are shown in descending order by date and time. That is, the newest records are displayed at the top.
