View PIPC log details

To view a list of the PIPC log files on the local machine, select the PIPC Logs tab.

Under Messages listed, select a log file to display the messages in that log file.

You can also right-click a log file and select Display to show that log file's messages in the table, or select Open with Notepad to open the file in Notepad.

In the table, view a list of messages in the selected file, ordered by the Time that the message was sent and the Program that generated the message.

By default:

• The oldest timestamp in the log file is the start time of the display, and the newest timestamp in the log file is the end time of the display.

• All text filters are set to *, to show everything without filtering. However, if you specify a filter before opening the file, the tool applies that filter to the displayed messages.

Select a message in the table to view information about the message in the details pane.

Note: Alternatively, you can double-click the message to open the Message Detail dialog box, which shows the same information as the details pane.

Details include:

• The Message box, which shows the text in the message.

• The Message details tab, which shows information about the time and source of the message, as well as the Data Archive server, if appropriate.

• The Identity tab, which shows information about the originating identity and the process identity.
