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 (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, and the font of the text is colored according to the severity of the text in the event, provided that analytics is enabled (the system default):

  • 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 All Events

XpoSearch enables you to view detailed stack trace information of all resulting events, provided that the events have stack traces. This feature makes it possible for you to see the cause of any event. You can also close the stack traces of all events.

To expand all events: 
  • In the Events toolbar, click the Expand Events icon .

 

To collapse all events: 
  • In the Events toolbar, click the Collapse 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 .
 
To enable analytics of all events: 
  • In the Events toolbar, click the Enable Analytics icon .
