Synchronize with other logs

Sometimes the need exists to examine more than one log to review entries for a particular time. Log Viewer makes it easy to synchronize multiple logs, based on timestamps. This helps an administrator trace an event through different subsystems.

This feature allows administrators to follow events and actions from log to log and can help to pinpoint how CIC processed events from subsystem to subsystem.

1. Maximize the Log Viewer window.

2. Open two or more log files.

3. On the Windows menu, click Tile Vertical to arrange the windows for optimal display.

4. Select an entry of interest in one of the logs.

5. Pull down the View menu and select Synchronize Now with Other Logs.

   You can synchronize logs by pressing this toolbar button.

6. Each of the logs will display entries by coordinating timestamps.
