7.7 Log Windows

All log windows — (Connection Log, HTTP Log, Mail Log and Error Log) have a toolbar

with these functions (from left to right):

Copy selection to clipboard

Copies the selected text to a clipboard (mouse can be use

to select text). This function can be invoked using the standard hot key Ctrl+C.

Save log to file

Stores log to a text file in a text format (*.txt) or in a LOG format

(*.log). This function can be invoked by the hot key Ctrl+W .

In general, the LOG format is more suitable for an automatic processing while the text

format is more readale for a user. For HTTP log, the LOG format is a standard (unix)

log and the text format preserves the form presented on a screen. All other logs in

the LOG format shows only IP addresses. In the text format, they are substituted by

computer names (if they are known).

Show only lines passing the rule

Logs filtering. The user can display only the lines

containing the specified string. For example, only the part of the log referring to a

specific date can be displayed in this way.

request, error message etc.).
