You can quickly create local filters by dragging and dropping. You can filter logs by time, use criteria stored in Filter elements, and save a Query as a permanent filter.
Note: The time selection refers to the entries’ creation time stamp (not the reception time at the Log Server, which is also included in many
entries). Internally, the SMC and engines always use universal time (UTC). The times
are displayed according to the time zone selected in your Management Client’s status bar.
