Snapshot Management

XpoLog enables you to capture a set of log records into a snapshot. These snapshots can be used during your workflow and assist you in troubleshooting and in future analysis.

Snapshots defined in the system are global, and can include records from various logs in the system. This means that you can add log records displayed in the Log Viewer to a new snapshot or to an already existing snapshot (see Adding Log Records to a Snapshot).

Once a snapshot is defined in the system, you can access the management options from the Tools > Snapshots menu, from the right-click menu of a snapshot under the Snapshots menu in the left pane, or from the right-click menu of selected snapshot record(s) in the Log Viewer.

The following table lists the snapshot actions, how they can be accessed, and a link to the topic that explains the procedures in full detail.
