# View log entries from specific components

You can filter logs based on the components that created the entries.

##

If the Senders tab is empty, data from all components is displayed in the Logs view. The Senders tab allows you to maintain the sender filtering independent of changes on the Filter tab. Restricting the included senders makes log browsing faster when there are many components in the SMC.
