Filtering Log Records 

Use

You can filter log records by a string, date/time, and severity. You can apply a filter to every column except to the Datasource column. You can apply a filter both to the current log records (exclude/include in current log) and to log records that are opened subsequently (exclude/include globally). You can display log records that meet the filter criteria (include in current log/globally) or log records that do not meet the filter criteria (exclude in current log/globally). When you apply a new filter, it is added to the filters that have been set for a particular log record table.
