Event Log Explorer Concept
Workspaces
Event Log Explorer has a document-oriented architecture. Event Log Explorer
documents are called workspaces. When you start Event Log Explorer first
time, it automatically creates an emtpy workspace Untitled.elx.
Worspaces store Computers tree and Opened event log views including windows
placement, filters, log loading options, etc). Workspaces don't store Event
Log Explorer Preferences. All global options and preferences are stored in the
user's registry.
If you maintain a large-scale network, it's a good idea to have different workspaces
for different group of servers. To open a certain workspace, use File->Open
Workspace command. To save workspace use File->Save Workspace or File->Save
Workspace As.
Computers Tree
Computers Tree is designed to provide you with quick access to event logs.
You can add any number of computers to the tree and group them for better usability.
When you click on the  sing
near the computer name, Event Log Explorer dispalys all event logs available
on this computer - double click on the log opens the event log immediately.
Log Views
Log view is a visual representation of event log or event log file. Log view
consist of event list, description box and control toolbar. You can open as
many log views as you wish. Depending on the user interface style, log views
are presented either as MDI child windows (for multiply document user interface)
or as tabs (for tabbed document user interface). Active log view is the
topmost log view (for MDI) or the active tab (for TDI).
All main menu commands for event log management apply to active log view only.
