Abstract
This tool allows you to look for specific
entries in various log files, thus facilitating the search for particular
incidents or security threats.
These are the steps to follow in order to browse or make a specific event search into the system logs:
You must choose which specific words to match by filling the Matching (log files contain the words) field and/or the but not matching (log files do not contain the words) field. At least one of the two fields must be filled.
Then choose the file you want to perform the search on, in the Choose file area: simply check the corresponding box.
Optionally, you can restrict the search to a specific day. In that case, check the Show only for the selected day box and choose the desired day from the calendar.
When all is set up, click on the button. The results will appear in the Content of the file area at the bottom.
Clicking on the button will open a standard dialog letting you save the search results into a plain text (*.txt) file.
