Log view search fields
The Log view provides three search fields above the table data that enable you to find particular
messages based on the field type you use and the regular expression that you enter. The regular
expression in the search field acts as a filter. Only messages that contain the matching pattern
appear in the list, sorted in the chronological order.
Message
Search the message field for a string. Only messages that match the given pattern
appear in the log view until the search is modified or cleared. Regular expression
strings are case sensitive unless you include
(?i)
in front of your search
expression.
Core
Find messages called by a particular core. Enter a core number here and the Log
view displays only messages triggered by that core.
Where
Search based on the location that triggered the annotate message. To narrow down
messages to those called by a particular function, enter that function name in the
Where
field.
