Searching By Log Number

You can find a particular log entry by searching for its log packet number or its

arrival sequence number. The

log packet number

is the number currently

assigned to the packet in the log. If you are using a circular log, this number

could change as log entries are added to and removed from the log. The

arrival

sequence number

is a unique number assigned to the packet when the protocol

analyzer collects it from the channel, and it does not change.
To search for a log entry by its log packet or arrival sequence number, perform

the following steps:

Figure 34. Go to Packet Dialog

2. Select Log Packet Number to search for a packet by its log packet number.

Select Arrival Sequence Number to search for a packet by the sequence

number assigned to the packet when the protocol analyzer received it.

3. Enter the packet or sequence number in the Number field, and click OK. The

Packet Log tab scrolls to the specified packet.

For an active log, you can turn off autoscrolling so that you can see the

highlighted log entry.

Bookmarking Packet Log Entries

You can use bookmarks to mark specific log entries as being of interest, so that

they are easier to find in the log. When you bookmark a log entry, that log entry

is highlighted in the Packet Log tab, so that it stands out. After you create a set

of bookmarks, you can scroll through the log from one bookmarked packet to the

next bookmarked packet.
