IMPORTANT: The full benefit of Quest's Log Viewer requires the application to transmit log event codes from the computer hosting the Log Viewer to a remote Quest database of Solutions (useful information about the events associated with the log codes). The Quest Solutions database then sends a corresponding Solution back to the Log Viewer for display to the user.
This feature is enabled by default, but can be disabled by deselecting the Enable Internet Access option on the View menu. For more information, see the IMPORTANT disclosures in the View menu topic below, in the field notes for the Enable Internet Access option. |
These Log Viewer topics document Log Viewer menus and toolbar and How to ... (accomplish various tasks).
The Log Viewer menus are: File menu • Edit menu • View menu • Help menu

Open Log File... (or Ctrl+O): Opens a standard Windows Open dialog box, from which you can specify the file you want to open into the Log Viewer. The Log Viewer can open and display WLog (optionally compressed) files, and plain text files. |
NOTE: Drag-and-Drop Option: You can also open a wlog file in the Log Viewer by dragging and dropping a filename from Windows Explorer into the Log Viewer window. |
