Retrieval Mode radio buttons 

Specifies the time frame for which you want log messages: 

• Historical allows you to examine a particular segment for particular time and shows the segment of that log the most closely matches the time that you see as the first item in the list of logged packets. You must use four digits in specifying the year, for example, 2000.

• Real Time specifies that the system displays the most recently logged records. You can specify how often the Log Browser page updates the log display in the Real Time Poll Interval field. If you set the log to Real Time Poll Interval, click the apply button. Depending upon your configured settings, records are logged faster than the Log Browser polls for new records. Thus, the display falls more and more behind as time goes on. If you want to see the most recently logged records. Click the Apply button to force a retrieval. The Poll Interval field also sets the times when the information in the Statistics tab is updated.

Fetch More Records button 

Retrieves more log records in the historical mode only. If you check Historical Reference Time and click the Apply button after specifying a date and time for retrieving records, the display will retrieve log records using the date and time that the log file was last cleared. Using this button, you can display the next screen of later records.
