An option menu is a set of commands displayed when you right-click in the user interface. The Log Monitor provides two option menus.

Right-clicking any column heading or in the logger list of the Log Monitor user interface displays the following option menu:

Launch Log Viewer	Starts the Log Viewer for the selected node. If this command is used again, the same Log Viewer is reactivated.
Connect	Attempts to connect to a node that currently has one of the following statuses: Unable to connect or Connection lost. If the Log Monitor currently has a connection to a node, this command is unavailable.
Reset	Changes the Status of a node to OK and its Error and Warning counts to zero (0). Used typically to acknowledge that a node has errors and/or warnings. Resetting a node’s displayed condition in the Log Monitor has no effect on the content of the logged messages in that node’s Logger.
Undo Reset	Returns the status of the node to its actual status.
Refresh	Forces the Log Monitor to do a manual refresh of the status information for the selected node. Only those nodes to which the Log Monitor has already connected are refreshed. Use the Connect command to attempt to reconnect to a node.
Configure	Opens the Configure dialog box (for more information, see Configure dialog box).
Help	Starts the online help for the Log Monitor utility.
About Log Monitor	Opens the utility’s About Log Monitor dialog box, which displays information about the application (for more information, see About Log Monitor dialog box).

Right-clicking the Log Monitor’s System Tray icon displays the following option menu:

Open Log Monitor	Restores the Log Monitor. The same as double- clicking the icon.
Close	Quits the utility.
View Errors on	This command is available if the cumulative status of the nodes is Errors. Displays a submenu list of all nodes that have Errors status. Selecting a node from the list starts the Log Viewer for that node.
View Warnings on	This command is available if the cumulative status of the nodes is Warnings. Displays a submenu list of all nodes that have Warnings status. Selecting a node from the list starts the Log Viewer for that node.
Reset All	Does a global reset of all nodes in the logger list. This command is available only if the cumulative status of all nodes is Errors or Warnings.
