Figure 4-61: Incident Log Search Criteria
2. Click Search.
Filtering a Log Search Using Multiple Criteria
The following procedure is applicable only to the Device properties, Alarm properties, and
Alarm state areas of Event Log Viewer.
This procedure may be used to filter out non-channel alarms when using the iC Reports
feature to create report templates. If this is the case, make sure you specify the Source ID
associated with the virtual alarm you created for this purpose (see
"Creating a Virtual Alarm to
Filter Out Non-Channel Alarms (iC Reports)" , on page 405).
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind the following
• By default, a search will find only exact matches for all criteria, with the
exception of what is entered in the Text field.
• The Text field lets you match text from the Text column, and always
searches in substring mode (e.g. enter comp to find both component and
composite).
• You can perform searches using the percentage sign (%) character as a
wildcard. Any % character in a field will be interpreted as a string of zero or
more arbitrary characters.To search for a literal % character, use two in a
row (
%% ).
• An empty field is equivalent to having a single % character in the field (only
faster).
• A maximum of 10,000 entries can be displayed at a time. If your search
results in more than 10,000 results, use the Batch retrieval buttons
(see
"Event Log Viewer" , on page 107) to navigate through the search
result screens.
• If a search takes longer than 5 minutes, the system resets the database
connection and returns an error message asking the user to retry the
search with adjusted search criteria.
