The Customize Log View page constructs a query that returns the log-message data that you request. The query searches in the current log file only. If the log file has been rotated, the query does not search through old messages that have been moved to another file.

None of the items on this page effect the messages that are actually stored in the log file; instead, they determine the log file data that the Administration Console displays.

The Administration Console does not save your filter criteria. The next time you access the Search Log page, the Administration Console uses the default criteria to display messages.

Table 6-1

Criteria Selector	Description
Columns	Specifies which message attributes the log viewer displays. For more information, refer to Message Attributes.
Servers	Applicable only for the domain log viewer. Causes the log viewer to display only the messages that were forwarded to the domain log from the specified server or servers. If you leave the Chosen column empty, the log viewer displays messages that were forwarded from all servers in the domain.
Subsystems	Causes the log viewer to display only the messages that were generated by one or more specific subsystems. If you leave the Chosen column empty, the log viewer displays messages that were generated by all subsystems.
Severities	Displays only the messages that correspond to the specified severity levels. For more information, refer to Message Severity.
Users	Displays only the messages that were generated within the security context that you specify.
Sub String	Searches the Message Text attribute and returns only the messages that contain a match to the string you specify. The search is case sensitive.
Since	Displays the messages that were written to the log file since the value that you specify. If you do not specify a value, the log viewer starts its display from the earliest messages that were written to the log file. The first messages are from the server's initial session. If you set up log file rotation, you see only the messages that are in the current log file. For more information, refer to Rotating Log Files.
Max Messages	Specifies the maximum number of messages that the log viewer displays.
Ongoing	The Administration Console displays messages as they are generated. Only the messages that match other filter criteria are displayed.
Foward	Reverses the order in which messages are displayed. With this option selected, the messages at the top of the log viewer are the earliest messages in the current log file.
