Using the Quick Filter

Use the quick filter for queries with only one condition applied to one column.

The quick filter is located directly below the toolbar, and is made up of three fields. From left to right, these are the column, condition, and value fields, shown below:

The column and condition fields are always drop-down lists, while the value field adapts to the column type.

To use the quick filter:

  1. Select the column you want to place a condition on from the column drop-down list.
  2. Set the condition drop-down list. Condition options are available as a function of the column selected. For example, the conditions for the Severity column are is, is not, Higher than, and Lower than.
  3. Specify the value to be checked against by the condition. If your query is based on the value of the date-time column, you can specify a time relative to the present, such as "now -2 hours", or an absolute time, by clicking to Absolute.
  4. Click the Apply Filter () button.

The Log Viewer displays logged events which meet your filter conditions.
