Visual Log Filters

The Visual Log Page offers a filtering capability that allows users to easily select a subset of the log.



By default, the Log Filter section will contain a single blank filter block. Each filter block contains three optional criteria:
  • View only those log entries whose User is one of the users selected in the filter block.
  • View only those log entries whose Project is one of the projects selected in the filter block.
  • View only those log entries whose Type is one of the types selected in the filter block.

For example, you could set a filter in order to only view failed-login events where someone attempted to log in as the "admin" user.



Clicking the Or... button below the filter will add an extra filter block, allowing you to set alternate criteria. In the example below, the filter will select failed-login events related to the "admin" user, OR any event related to "Project A" and the "John Doe" user.



Note: Although all log types will be available for selection in the filter, those types may not always be present in the log. For example, non-admin users will only be allowed to view log events that are directly related to a project they manage, so they inherently won't be able to see failed-login events, for example, because those events are never associated with projects. Also, the successful-login event is not recorded by default. See the Visual Log Configuration section in the install guide to enable recording of that event type.
