Direct Search Method

To search you have to:

  1. Select Direct search in the left panel.
  2. Select the log file using the "..." button.
  3. Insert the search term and press the button at the right of the search string, the search string is not a regex and you cannot use "*" or other special characters.

    Examples of valid search strings are:

    *** – to search for all sessions in the log;

    Client session – to search for all the client sessions;

    @icewarp.com.br – to search for all sessions that contain "@icewarp.com.br"

  4. You can now refine your search using the From and To filters. When you want to filter the previous search, you have to press the button with the play button on the left.

If you right-click a row, you can search for Message ID and see the whole processing of this message. The search time is proportional to the number of results. (Tried with a big log file (50 MB – approx. 8000 rows), the search took less than 200ms.) If you right-click a session you will find the Search MessageID function.

There is also a contextual menu in the part where you see the whole session, you can decode base64 strings, copy and select a; you can select a string in the session and if it can be decoded, it will be shown as a hint when you stop moving the mouse.

You can create a Native MySQL DSN – with this setup you will get the best response time and you do not need libmysql.dll to connect to the database.
