In XpoLog Manager, on the left navigation panel select the Settings > Log Viewer menu item. The Log Viewer Settings screen is displayed.

The Log Viewer Settings allows system administrators to configure a few parameters that impact the Viewer's behavior:

Log Viewer Records Per Page

Log viewer records per page: a comma separated list of numbers which will be available in the viewer when opening a log. Default values are 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and may be modified here.
Note that using high number of records per page may impact browser performance. 

Default number of records per page: The default number log records which will be presented when opening a log in the viewer. This value should be one of the available options of the 'log viewer records per page' list above.

Default Log Search Settings

Default Search: When checked - a search and filter result will be presented from the beginning of the logs (Note: when unchecked the result that will be presented is on current view from current location). 

Default Tail Settings

Tail refresh rate: you can set the refresh rate of tailing (in seconds). Note: when activating the tail on log viewer XpoLog is loading the new records, if available, according to the specified refresh rate.

Tail number of records view: while tailing XpoLog will accumulate the selected number of records in log viewer. Note: after the view will reach the selected number of records, XpoLog will restart the accumulation in a new page.

Search Context Menu

Context menu may be used when right-clicking a log column value in the log viewer (under the option 'Search'). By using the placeholder '[LOG_COL_DATA]' you can use the right-clicked value in an external site.
For example an internal organization site that can identify information from the logs, XpoLog Search engine, Google, etc.
