Predefined View 

Definition

A predefined view in the Logs and Traces plug-in displays list and text formatted logs and traces. A predefined view is defined by a combination of the following:

●     Filters by data source location of the logs and traces

●     Filters by log and trace name and type

●     Filters by content of the logs and traces

●     Customization of the columns and fields to be displayed for the logs and traces.

Use

You can use the predefined views in the Logs and Traces plug-in:

●     To filter and view logs and traces

●     As a template for creating a custom view. For more information, see Creating, Exporting and Importing Custom Views.

The priority for applying the filters is the following: when you apply a filter, all filters that are set below it are also applied and the filters that are set above it, if any, are not applied.

If you have set all filters in a view and apply the filter by data source, it will be applied and all other filters below it will be applied.

If you have set all filters in a view and apply only the filter by content, then only the filter by content will be applied.

The conditions for applying the filter criteria are the following: when you set two or more filter criteria of the same type, the condition is logical OR. When you set filter criteria of a different type, the condition is logical AND.

If you set the following filters by content:

●      Severity equals WARNING

●      Severity equals ERROR

All logs and traces with severity WARNING OR ERROR will be displayed.

In addition, if you set the following filters by content:

●      Category contains /System/

Logs and traces with severity WARNING AND category /System/ and logs and traces with severity ERROR AND category /System/ will be displayed.
