Log search

The Log search feature enables operators with proper access rights to search the Network Monitor system log. Note that even though the operator has access to search the log, the operator might not be able to access all information contained in the system log. For example, operators with the Group objects access right can only view log entries assigned to its own operator group. Only system administrators are able to see all information.

• Period - Select the time period to search the system log.
• Results - Max number of entries to display.
• Text - Optional free text search. Specifying a search keyword limits the list to log entries containing that keyword.
• Object - Optional selection of an object. If selected, only message related to the object are listed.
• Monitor - Optional selection of a monitor. If selected, only messages related to the monitor are listed.

Manually adding a log entry

Operators can use the Add log message function to add manual entries in the log. The log message is stored in the system log as a comment. You can optionally associate an object/monitor combination with the log entry.
