Filtering log data
Filter log data to see only entries that meet specific criteria. For example, filter the audit log to review the actions of a particular administrator on a certain date.
Data on the log pages can be sorted, grouped, and filtered by column name. For example, the traffic log can be sorted by incidents, action taken, or event time.
To sort or filter the table items on a status or log screen, click the down arrow by any column name and choose an option:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Sort Ascending | Select this option to sort the table by the active column in ascending alphabetical order. |
Sort Descending | Select this option to sort the table by the active column in descending alphabetical order. |
Filter by (column) | Select this option to filter the data in the table by the type of information in the active column, such as by description or task name. |
Clear filter | Select this option to clear the filter and display all tasks. |
To view the current filters in use, click the information (“i”) icon next to Column Filtering Activated.
When a filter is applied to a column, a funnel icon appears next to the column name.
To clear the filter from a column, click the down arrow by any column name and select Clear filter. The toolbar at the top of the content pane also offers a Filter button that can be used to clear a single filter or all filters.
If there are too many items to fit on the screen, use the Next, Previous, First, and Last buttons to browse the list.
