Audit Filter
The audit filter helps system administrators to search for relevant records. Messages can be filtered:
for a string contained in any field. Entering the search string in the filter field above the audit viewer (see image
above) and clicking on the 'magnifying' icon initiates the search. Records which do not match the search string
are filtered out.
for a matching string in a certain field, e.g. by date or message type. Clicking on the arrow to the right of the
filter field opens the filter dialog (see image below). How to search using any of these fields is explained in the
table below.
