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.
Linked event filter
Linked Event Filter helps you to automate
linking events by event id and description data and filter
them.
