Filtering events in Event Log Explorer
Event Log Explorer offers 3 ways of data filtering.
Pre-filtering events (log loading options)
Use pre-filtering to filter events during the log loading process.
You can pre-filter events by event age or event types.
To set the global log loading options, open Preferences
dialog and select Log View Defaults.
To change log loading options for active view, select View->Log
Loading Options from the main menu.
General Filter
To filter events in an event log view, select View->Filter
from the main menu. This will open Filter/Search window.
Enter your criteria in this window and press OK to apply the filter.
You cannot apply general filters one by one. You should change your
current filter criteria if you want to narrow filtered list. To change the filter
criteria, open Filter/Search window again - and modify the displayed filter
criteria.
When you refresh the event list, general filter will be re-applyed after log
reloading.
To clear filter, select View->Clear Filter.
Quick Filter
Quick Filters is a comfortable way to filter event list by a single criterion.
To set a filter, find an event that meets your criteria, then click right
mouse button on the cell of this event that you consider as the "criterion
cell". The Event List context menu will appear.
The following quick filter criteria are available:
Column Name = Selected Value
Column Name <> Selected Value
Date >= Date of the current event (option is available if the user
pops menu up from the Date column).
Date <= Date of the current event (option is available if the user
pops menu up from the Date column).
Date&Time>= Date&Time of the current event (option is available
if the user pops menu up from the Time column).
Date&Time <= Date&Time of the current event (option is available
if the user pops menu up from the Time column).
You can apply quick filters one by one - this lets you to narrow filtered
list easy and clearly.
When you refresh the event list, all quick filters will be cancelled.
To clear quick filters, select View->Clear Quick
Filters or View->Clear Filter.
