To view and/or export system log events, first you need to perform a search for them.

To search for system log events, you need to set one or more filters:

  1. Time period during which the events were recorded.
  2. Event type:
    1. Information
    2. Alarm
    3. Error
    4. Debug
  3. A key phrase contained in the system event descriptions.
The time period is a mandatory filter, while the event type and key phrase are optional.

Search filters can be set as follows:

  1. In the To and From fields (1) you can enter the date and time of the beginning and end of the period during which the events you are searching for were recorded.

    The date format is DD-MM-YYYY and the time format is HH:MM:SS.XXX.
    By default, the event search period is defined as the past 24 hours.
  2. Select the type of event to search for in the Event type list (2). To search for all event types, select an empty line.
  3. In the Search field (3) enter a key phrase which is in the system description of the events that you want to find.

If you want to filter for alerts of a particular status, in the Search for field, enter the relevant status: Critical, Non-critical, False or Unclassified.

For more precise searching, enter an exact phrase in the Search keyword field.

The event search filters have been set.

Next you must start the event search (see the section titled Event search procedure).
