Introduction

Next to the "Log" chapters (under "System Log", "Event Log" and "Kernel Log") you will find a new chapter, called "Log (editable)". When opening this chapter, by default you will get the unfiltered, original log.

Filtering

In order to start filtering the log, you need to create a filter group. These are a collection of filter rules. You can create them by simply clicking on the "New filter" in the header:

log header

After a filter is created, you can select it in the combo box, to the left of the "New filter" button. When a filter is selected, you can add and remove filter rules:

To add a new filter, just fill in the regular expression for the tag, the message or the whole line and click "Add new filter". You can choose to hide or show the matched lines. By default all lines are visible, so the default action is to hide lines. But you could create a filter to first hide all the lines, and then to show only the matching ones.

You can delete the filter group as well, just click on the "Delete filter group" button (and confirm the popup dialog).

By clicking on the header of the filter box, you can collapse it:

Commenting

You can add comments to log lines by simply clicking on the "Comment" button which is visible when you hover above a line:

When hovering above comments, you can click on the buttons to edit or delete the comment, or to add one more comment (for eg. a reply) to the same line.
