Use filters for browsing log entries
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 Secure SD-WAN Manager and engines always use universal time (UTC). The times
are displayed according to the time zone selected in your Management Client’s status bar.
