XpoLog help - Log customization
 
How to customize the behavior of your logs?
  1. Table customization
    On the left side there is a list of all columns created according to the Data pattern of the log (which you can view in the log administration screen), on the right side you can see the order and columns that will be presented in the table on the log view page. You can add and remove columns from the table using the add and remove options between the lists. You must select an entry in one of the lists in order to add or remove it from the list.
  2. Log view settings
    • Show line numbers - show the line number of each record. When browsing or monitoring through very large files, it is recommended to disable the line number counting. The system will browse much faster over files without the need to constantly count the number of lines in the files and maintaining the line counter.
    • Consolidation - merge records whose all data other than the date is identical in one record.
  3. Log search settings
    • First checkbox - perform search and filter on whole data.
    • Second checkbox - use whole words in search engine.
  4. Log start operation
    It is possible to define from which default location the log view will start showing data. From the newest data thus end of most updated file or from oldest data thus the start of the oldest file and you can set it to show data from the start of the most recent file this is helpful when the log is combined from several logs and you wish to see last file first.
  5. Statistics settings
    • Compute statistics - enable statistical evaluations on the log.
  6. Indexing settings
    • Use indexing - enable indexing on the log. Indexed logs can be rapidly searched and filtered and can be used in XpoLog Search Engine searches.
    • Use indexing for date search - enable the use of the index for quick date search (improve searches on gzip logs).
  7. Search context menu
    It is possible to define a search context menu to enable search of logged data in data repositories, such as search engines and wikis.
    Add a search context menu to a log by specifying the relevant columns, the name of the data repository (i.e. Google) and the URL to be used for the search.

Global Customization
The Global customization is an option to define the logs customization in a central place for multiple logs. You can set the columns you want to view, the order of columns, priorities colors, etc. Once you save a global customization, all the logs that have the same structure will be set to use this customization, (unless a log has an individual customization)
