Message time range

The Message Logs tool shows messages by time range. By default, the Message Logs tool is set to display all messages over the past five minutes. You can change the default time range by changing the setting in the Options dialog box.

You can change the current time range by changing the values in the Start field and End field.

These fields can take either a relative time or an absolute time. So, for example, to get messages for the last five minutes, you could set the start time to five minutes ago and the end time to now:

Start: *-5m
End: *

The interval between the start and end time specifies a range. The Message Logs tool uses this range to group messages so that you can use the forward and back arrows () to see the next or previous set of messages. The above example specifies a five minute range. If you click the back arrow, you get all the messages between five and ten minutes ago. If you click the back arrow again, you get all the messages between ten and fifteen minutes ago, and so on.

Note: are enabled only when the Server & SDK Logs tab is selected, and at least one Data Archive server is selected.
