> For the past n Day(s). Click this radio button to specify a number of days, rather than a starting and ending date and time, for filtering log events. If this radio button is selected, you can enter an integer number in the field, in which case all log events since that number of days before the present day will be displayed.

> Facility. Use this menu to specify that only log events of a specific server facility, or functional area (such as General, LDAP, or Network), are to be displayed. (Logged facilities are described in Categories of Logged Events.) You can select a single facility or all facilities.

> Levels of detail. From the drop-down list, choose the level of log events to be displayed. You can select all levels or a single level; if you select a single level, events at that and all higher (less verbose) levels are included in the display. For more information about levels of detail, see “Logging Levels” in the “Logging and Log Analysis” chapter of iPlanet Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide.

> Pattern. Use this field to enter a text pattern and specify that only log events that contain a match to that pattern are to be displayed. For more information about text patterns, see “Search Parameters” in the “Logging and Log Analysis” chapter of iPlanet Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide.

> Update. Click this button to apply the currently entered filter criteria to the specified log file. Events that match the criteria are displayed in the Log entry field.

> ### Log Entry

> Log entry. This field displays (in two panes) logged events from the current log file. (The file whose contents are displayed here has been selected through the Content tab for a specific logged service; see LDAP Tab.)

> Only entries that match the filter criteria specified by the other fields in this window are displayed. Each logged event occupies one line in the upper pane of the field. Entries in the upper pane may be truncated by the right edge of the field. However, the full text of any entry selected in the upper pane is displayed in the lower pane, wrapped to the width of the window.

> For more information on log-entry format, see “Log File Format” in the “Logging and Log Analysis” chapter of iPlanet Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide.

> ### Standard Buttons

> Close. Click this button to close the Log Viewer window.

> # Date-Time Window

> The Date-Time window allows you to specify the start and end dates for logs. The Date-Time window provides four areas: month, year, day of the month (in calendar format), and time (select the hour, minute, and second independently to change them).

> # Log Files Option Tab

> The Option tab allows you to set logging characteristics for each type of service that Messaging Server logs.

> For more information, see the following sections in the “Logging and Log Analysis” chapter of iPlanet Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide:

> - Log Characteristics
> - Logging Levels
> - Defining and Setting Logging Options

> The Option tab has the following elements:

> Levels of detail. From the drop-down list, select the level of detail (verbosity) you want for this service’s logging, in terms of what events are to be logged.

> When you select a specific level, events for that level and for all less verbose levels are logged. The default level of logging is Notice.

> Directory path for log files. In this field, enter the location at which log files for this service are to be kept. Default is instanceDirectory/log/service, where instanceDirectory is the directory in which the files for this instance of Messaging Server reside.

> Note: Log data can be voluminous. Choose a directory that has adequate disk storage space and in which your log files will not overwhelm other files.

> ### Log File Rotation Policy

> File size for each log. In this field, specify the maximum size permitted for a log file of this type; from the associated drop-down list, choose Mbytes or Kbytes. When the file currently being written to exceeds that size, subsequent events are written into a new file, named according to the conventions that are described in Filename Conventions for Message Store and Administration Logs.

> Create new log every. In this field, specify the maximum age permitted for the log file currently being written to; from the associated drop-down list, choose hours or days. When the current log file exceeds that age, subsequent events are written into a new file, named according to the conventions that are described in Filename Conventions for Message Store and Administration Logs.

> Caution: If you do not want to lose log data, make sure you adjust your log-rotation parameters and backup schedule (see “Defining and Setting Logging Options” in the “Logging and Log Analysis” chapter of iPlanet Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide) so that files are not deleted before they have been backed up.

> ### Log File Expiration policy

> Number of logs per directory. In this field, specify the maximum number of log files permitted in the directory specified in the “Directory path for log files” field. When this number of files is exceeded, the oldest log file in the directory is deleted.

> When total log size exceeds. In this field, specify the maximum size permitted for the sum of all log files of this service; from the associated drop-down list, choose Kbytes or Mbytes. When this maximum is exceeded, the oldest log file in the directory is deleted.

> When free disk space is less than. In this field, specify the minimum free disk space permitted on the storage volume to which the log files are written; from the associated drop-down list, choose Kbytes or Mbytes. If this minimum is surpassed, the oldest log file in the directory is deleted.

> When a log is older than. In this field, specify the maximum age permitted for any log file; from the associated drop-down list, choose Hours or Days. When a file exceeds that age, it is deleted.

> Caution: If you do not want to lose log data, make sure you adjust your log-expiration parameters and backup schedule (see “Defining and Setting Logging Options” in the “Logging and Log Analysis” chapter of iPlanet Messaging Server Administrator’s Guide) so that files are not deleted before they have been backed up.
