Log View

The Log View shows the log records of an imported log in Common Base Event format. The properties and values of each log record are shown in this view. The Log View can be used in conjunction with the Log Interactions and Log Thread Interactions views to effectively examine log interactions. The analysis results of one or more log records is also shown in this view.
