• Messages by level of Severity: Displays the total number of events by each level of severity.
TIP: You can toggle between hiding and showing the notifications of any level of severity by clicking the severity icon at the top of the window.
• Search: Allows you to search text displayed in the Event column. Separate multiple search terms with a white space, or the ‘AND,’ ‘OR,’ or ‘NOT’ (capitalized) operators. A white space is treated like the ‘AND’ operator.
• Select Date & Time Range: Allows you to search the events by date and time. You can specify both the start and end date and time. The clock icon is highlighted when a date and time range filter is in use. Click the clock icon again to remove the filter. When in use, mouse over the clock icon to display a tooltip of the date/time range filter.
• Event entries: Each entry displays a severity of notification icon and the Date, Time, and Event.

NOTE: The Expert Event log for each Capture Engine capture window is a separate entity. All other log entries on a single Capture Engine are stored in a single database. When the database becomes full, old entries are deleted to make room for newer entries.
