An important feature within Spotlight is the ability to display, collect and replay the behavior of a Spotlight connection at a specified point in time such as when an important alarm was raised.

To view Spotlight history

  1. Right click the connection in the Spotlight Browser Live connections or All connections.
  2. Select Browse History.

Select an event in the snapshot list.

The Spotlight browser displays a tree of alarms and snapshots in chronological order, together with some basic navigation controls.
