Tagging tool

EventLog Analyzer's tagging tool bookmarks your logs and complex search queries using hashes, helping you view searches across different sources. You can also add troubleshooting tips or notes along with your tag.

How to create a tag?

To create a tag, go to Search tab and follow the below steps:

1. Specify all the search criteria which you wish to associate with your new tag and click Search.

2. Click on the tag icon on the right side of any log entry in the displayed search result.

3. Fill the required details in the Add Tag pop-up:

• Provide the name of the tag.
• Select the tag criteria from the predefined list. The list is based on the fields available in the search result. If it does not have the field you are looking for, then add those fields to the search results using the column selector at the top-right corner of the search results.
• Provide troubleshooting tips/notes for the tag, if any.
• Specify the user name. By default, the current user name (logged on to the EventLog Analyzer web client), is displayed.
4. Click Apply to save the tag.

How to edit a tag

1. Navigate to Settings > Admin settings > Tags.

2. Click the edit icon next to the tag.
