The SM Log Viewer shows the error log from the remote SM host. At the top of the page controls are provided to change the log text shown. A status line displays the file name, number of lines, number of matched search results, and range of lines in the file being viewed. The File Name field shows the path of the log file on the remote host. The tooltip to display the entire path is available for file paths that exceed the name filed width. The main text portion of the window displays the lines of text taken from the log file (see Lines/Page below).
Check boxes
are used to filter lines of text containing
SM,
PM,
FE,
WARN, and
ERROR. When a checkbox is selected, all lines
containing the selected filter are displayed and highlighted in a different
color; lines that do not contain the filtered text are not displayed.
The Lines/Page control
allows you to select the number of lines to display on
each page as the file is traversed. The
Total Lines field shows the total number of
lines in the log file and is updated as lines are added.
