4.5.2 Find in log

In addition to Log filtering , you can use search functionality within Log files, however you can also use it

independently from log filtering. This is useful when you are looking for particular records in the logs. Like Log

filtering, this search feature will help you find the information you are looking for, especially when there are too

many records.

When using Find in log, you can type in a string of What to find, specify what columns to look in, select Record

types and set a Time period to search only for records that happened within that time period. By specifying certain

search options, only records that are relevant (according to those search options) will be searched in the Log files

window.

In order to search in logs, open the Find in Log window by pressing Ctrl + f keys.

NOTE: You can use the Find in log feature in conjunction with Log filtering . You can first narrow down the

number of records using Log filtering and then start searching only within filtered records.
