6.2.1 Triggered Real time Logs
Sometimes it is convenient to start/stop a log not by hand, but automatically when certain

The menu items:

appropriate menu while waiting in the staging area. Another use is to track down random
problems. The trigger condition can be set up to start a session when the problem condition
