The execution of a Simple Search generates all events that match the search query, up to the maximum number of events allowed by the system. 

The following is displayed for each event:

  • The timestamp of the event, i.e. the date and time that the event occurred
  • The overall severity of the event, which is the severity of the highest problem found in the event (colorcoded, high, medium, low, or none) (provided that Analytics is enabled)
  • The fields and field values of the event
  • The log, host, and applications of the event.

The text that you searched for is highlighted in yellow. In addition, provided that analytics is enabled (the system default), the font of the searched text, is colored according to its severity. Also, all field values that  discovery analyzes as being problematic, are also color-coded in the event, according to their severity.

Severities are color-coded as follows:

  • Red – high severity problem
  • Orange – medium severity problem
  • Yellow – low severity problem
  • Green – no problem found

Hovering over any event displays a menu which enables you to open the analytics of the event, or view the event in the log viewer.

You also have the option to expand all events to see their stack traces, and to disable the analytics of all events.

Expanding/Collapsing Events

Events that have stack traces, are followed by an Expand Events icon .

Enabling/Disabling Analytics of All Events

By default, while XpoSearch searches for all events that match your search query, it also performs analytics on all events, color-coding the fields according to their severity, displaying the severity of the events, and suggesting additional potentially problematic fields from  the events. You can disable analytics, so that XpoSearch only performs the search. 

To disable analytics of all events: 
  • In the Events toolbar, click the Disable Analytics icon .
    The severities of the events are not displayed, and problematic field values are not color-coded. The toolbar icon changes to , allowing you to enable analytics at a later time.
