Viewing the Logs

Viewing a Message

In Iguana, there are two ways to view more detailed information on a log message:

  • To view more detailed information on the current log message (the message that is displayed with a green background), press the Return or Enter key.
  • To view more detailed information on any message, use the mouse to hover over the message, then click the left mouse button.

When you display log messages in the Logs screen, the current log message is displayed in green. The background color for a log message becomes darker when you hover over it:

When you select a message for which you want to display detailed information, the information is displayed in the Logs window:

The detailed version of the log message is displayed using the encoding specified by the Message Encoding list box in the LLP Listener and LLP Client components.

Note: This encoding is not used to display the list of log messages that appears when you first click the Logs tab. This encoding is only used to display the detailed version of the message.

The following table describes the icons in the log message details page and what they do. The option buttons that are displayed depend on the type of log message that you are viewing.
